The San Antonio Spurs trade for Malcolm Brogdon of the Portland Trail Blazers is likely to take place in the coming days. The Trail Blazers were the team that was talked about the most in the summer transfer window, courtesy of Damian Lillard. The 33-year-old point guard had requested a trade to the Miami Heat and did not want to move to any other team.
The Trail Blazers wanted more than what the Miami Heat could offer, which is why the Milwaukee Bucks acquired the player. After that deal, the PT Blazers were involved in many trades, giving them a less valuable point guard in every subsequent trade.
31-year-old Malcolm Brogdon, who has played 23 games for the Portland Trail Blazers this season, is averaging 16 points per game. He has also charted 5.7 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game while shooting 40.3 percent from beyond the arc.
The San Antonio Spurs are keeping a keen eye on the player, and they are speculated to land the veteran point guard. Can they make it happen? Here is all the information you need about the Portland Trail Blazers’ Malcolm Brogdon trade to the San Antonio Spurs.
What would the San Antonio Spurs offer for Malcolm Brogdon?

Why would the Portland Trail Blazers trade-off Malcolm Brogdon?
The PT Blazers are set to rebuild in the post-Lillard era. They are likely to rely on their young core centered around Scoot Henderson. Although Henderson and Brogdon have done pretty well together, the franchise is likely to let the latter go for assets.

Why would the San Antonio Spurs like to sign Malcolm Brogdon?
The SA Spurs landed Victor Wembanyama via the lottery pick, and they would fancy pairing him with a veteran guard. Malcolm Brogdon doesn’t affect their lottery pick chances either and would strengthen their squad as well.
