The Boston Celtics’ guard Malcolm Brogdon has been again linked with the Clippers. The Clippers have been trying to land Malcolm for a while now. They tried getting him through a three-team trade but failed at that too. But the Clippers are yet to give up, and a few weeks later, they are targeting the Celtics’ guard again.
This transfer window has been crazy, with some substantial trade requests and many big names floating in the market. The Clippers have other more prominent names to target, but if they fail, they would love to get Malcolm on their roster. Here is all your information about the trade between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Clippers involving Brogdon Malcolm!
What would the Clippers offer for Malcolm Brogdon?
The Clippers can trade off Nicolas Batum, Robert Covington and a second-round pick from 2024 and 2027 in exchange for the Celtics’ guard Malcolm. The Clippers know the skill set and experience the 30-year-old carries. Leonard, George and Malcolm look deadly on paper, and the Clippers would hope for them to pull it off on the field as well.

What is the current situation of Malcolm Brogdon with the Celtics?
Brogdon’s poor medical evaluation, probably due to the partial tear in his tendon, made the Clippers give up on him in a three-team trade involving the Celtics and the Wizards. But if the Clippers do not succeed at signing James Harden, Malcolm would be a good alternative.
The trade will take a while to happen, considering Brogdon’s injury. Will the Clippers finally add Brogdon to their roster? We will keep you updated.
