The Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon is likely to get acquired by the Los Angeles Clippers this offseason. The Blazers were the talk of the town this whole summer, and now they are busier than ever. Every time they trade a guard, they manage to land a less valuable player of the same kind. Damian Lillard was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks and that resulted in the Blazers acquiring Jrue Holiday. When they traded Jrue, they got Malcolm in return. Will they trade him as well?
The Virginia Cavaliers product played 67 games last season and averaged 14.9 points, 3.7 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game while shooting 44.4 percent from beyond the arc. His shooting has caught the eyes of the Clippers, and they want to land him on their roster. Can they manage to do it? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Portland Trail Blazers involving Malcolm Brogdon.
What would the Clippers offer for Malcolm Brogdon?
The Clippers are expected to offer Marcus Morris, Amir Coffey, Kobe Brown, and one second-round pick each from the years 2029 and 2030 in exchange for the Blazers’ #13. Having him in the team does not make much sense to the Blazers, but he can be a great asset for the Clippers.

Why would the Clippers like to sign Malcolm Brogdon?
The Clippers are expected to land James Harden, but we have been saying this for so long now. There are some complications and developments in the deal, but nobody is sure if the Sixers will trade James to his preferred destination. This deal gives them an alternative of the superstar and also the freedom to go all in with a roster built around Paul George.
The Blazers new Lineup is looking exciting! 🔥

Why would the Blazers trade-off Malcolm Brogdon?
The Blazers will be rebuilding in the post-Lillard era, and they would fancy getting decent packages in return for the stars they have on their roster. This deal gives them three players and two draft picks, which would be enough for them.
The Blazers are likely to rely on their young core in this season. How will they line up? Will the Clippers acquire James or will they have to resort to Malcolm? We’ll keep you updated.
