The Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon is likely to get acquired by the Los Angeles Clippers this offseason. Both the teams were involved in a blockbuster trade this whole summer. The Blazers finally traded Damian Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks. They did not stop there; in return, they kept on getting less valuable point guards in consequent trades, and they kept trading them off. At the same time, the Clippers are yet to succeed in completing the trade they were involved in.
When the Blazers traded Damian to the Bucks, they landed Jrue Holiday on their roster, and when they parted ways with Jrue, they acquired Malcolm. Now, they are set to trade him off as well since they are going to rebuild. They will be relying on their young core for the upcoming season. Where can they send the 30-year-old for some return value? The Clippers seem interested in the player. Can they land him? 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, Kobe Brown, Amir Coffey, and a 2024 second-round pick in exchange for the Blazers’ #13. This looks like a great deal for the Blazers who are accumulating assets to rebuild their core.

Why would the Clippers like to sign Malcolm Brogdon?
The Clippers were linked with James Harden throughout this offseason. The Sixers want to involve Terrance Mann in the deal, but the Clippers are not interested in doing so. The trade is far from happening and that is why the Clippers are trying to acquire a replacement for the player. Brogdon is a brilliant shooter and will surely boost the strength of the Clippers.
