It’s been three weeks since the Boston Celtics nearly traded Malcolm Brogdon to the Los Angeles Clippers, as part of a deal to land Kristaps Porzingis. Boston wound up getting their man, but it came at the expense of longtime guard Marcus Smart, rather than Brogdon.
Since then, it’s been reported that the Clippers have still been eyeing the reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year, despite pulling out of last month’s deal at the last minute.
Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley ran with that idea on Thursday, when he wrote up some mock trades for the Celtics — one of which sent Brogdon to the Clippers.
