The Celtics organization was so diligent in handling Udoka’s sexual misconduct, perhaps alienating their key players in the process.
Turning around and trading for Kristaps Porzingis would be puzzling, to say the least. – 3:31 PM

Brogdon-Morris-Porzingis doesn’t work. #Celtics need to send out about $7.7M more (Muscala/Gallo? Champagnie/Kornet/Muscala?). Morris-Brogdon off by about $1M from LAC side. There’s going to be more to this. How many players can BOS/LAC reasonably pile on the Clipper? – 3:24 PM

Flipping Brogdon for Porzingis is just good roster management. KP makes Boston better and hedges against Horford aging. – 3:22 PM

If Porzingis declines his 36M player option, #Celtics can’t realistically acquire him. If he opts in, it’ll drastically expand the team’s salary base starting next year. Would he be a rental? C’s would need Grant in a S&T scenario, or Pritchard/Gallo go as salary. Brogdon needed. pic.twitter.com/d7y7NfXfc2 – 2:18 PM

Victor Wembanyama is considered a generational prospect. No hate at all because I like his game, but what makes him so much better than Kristaps Porzingis? If he’s generational, he has to clear Porzingis pretty easily. What are some of the major differences that separate him? – 2:14 PM

Dice @BGlobeSports que @Celtics “no tiene la intención” de canjear a Jaylen Brown y sí de extenderle un contrato supermax por $295 millones y cinco temporadas.
Quieren retener a Grant Williams. Un base tendrá que irse, Brogdon o Pritchard. Brogdon cobra más. pic.twitter.com/vosW2obxcb – 5:13 PM

I understand #Celtics moving Brogdon to retain Grant Williams. I understand trading Grant & taking back less money while retaining Brogdon. If both end up gone and the overall talent of the roster decreases, you can’t feel great about that. Let’s see what happens. – 3:31 PM

Interesting that #Suns’ team dynamic will closely match what #Celtics’ would’ve been if they traded for Beal. Would’ve taken more draft capital given that salary like Brogdon going to DC would’ve been long-term. Tatum, Brown, Beal become 150M AAV quickly. No MLE, fewer picks… – 8:29 PM

More on this storyline
The deal is considered a “high possibility” according to league sources briefed on the negotiations. Boston would also need to send out additional salary, with Danilo Gallinari’s expiring $6.8 million closing the gap to reach the salary matching threshold. -via The Athletic / June 21, 2023
Eric Pincus: FWIW, and I don’t know the Wizards’ intention yet, but they would be better positioned to keep Porzingis and Kuzma without worrying about luxury taxes, if that were their goal. The new leadership may be looking at a reset entirely, but I don’t have that intel yet -via Twitter @EricPincus / June 19, 2023
Dallas had well-known players like Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis and Tim Hardaway Jr., but Terry said no veterans had taken him under their wing. (Terry admitted that he had often bolted right after practice, even though coaches had wanted him to stay.) -via New York Times / June 19, 2023
My podcast partner Chris Haynes reported Friday that Boston is looking to move out at least one of its guards to ease a backcourt logjam. Word is the most likely of the group to be dealt, entering the weekend, was Malcolm Brogdon rather than Marcus Smart, Derrick White or Payton Pritchard. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 17, 2023
Two names to keep an eye on in Phoenix’s trade pursuits: Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins and Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon. The Suns acquiring either of those veterans might require a third team to accept Paul’s outgoing salary — such as the Houston Rockets with their $60 million of cap space and counting — but Brogdon and Collins are a pair of players Phoenix has registered interest in during trade conversations with Boston and Atlanta, respectively, that date back to the trade deadline, sources said. -via Yahoo!
