(Himmelsbach) But the indications I’ve gotten are that the Celtics are not considering trading Brogdon any more than they are considering trading any other player. His sour ending to last year aside, it is worth remembering Brogdon’s value to the Celtics last year.

Full quote:
The Celtics’ social media team has posted plenty of pictures and videos of these workouts and players’ Boston arrivals. But there has been no sign of guard Malcolm Brogdon.
Brogdon, of course, was hampered by a forearm strain during the conference finals last season. Then in June he was part of the first iteration of the Kristaps Porzingis trade before that deal crumbled and Marcus Smart ended up in the three-team transaction instead.
Brogdon and his camp have been quiet this summer, and members of the Celtics front office have mostly avoided or deflected questions about the Sixth Man of the Year. Something about the situation just feels slightly off.
But the indications I’ve gotten are that the Celtics are not considering trading Brogdon any more than they are considering trading any other player. His sour ending to last year aside, it is worth remembering Brogdon’s value to the Celtics last year. And Smart’s departure figures to only increase his role.
Media day is scheduled for Oct. 2, so there will at least be some clarity then.
Well, hopefully, someone asks him on media day if he had any issues or disagreements about “how his injury was handled.” Since that’s what Ramona stated on ESPN.
Also, the Bill Russell tidbit is fantastic
What are the chances he doesn’t show up to media day? The situation still seems strange in the sense that Brogdon isn’t happy
How can a person say so little in so many words.
I don’t think anything has really changed since the trade that they pivoted from.
They’re perfectly happy keeping Brogdon next season but if there’s an upgrade to be made he’s the most tradeable asset we have. A Buddy trade would leave us pretty thin at the point and considering camp is getting so close the roster is probably more or less set.
We still haven’t heard anything from Brogdon or his people about him being unhappy, it’s all been speculation.
So stupid. Derrick white hasn’t showed up yet either. Is he upset?
> trading any other player
Translation: Brad told Adam they’ve had “just as many conversations about trading Pritchard” and then realized what he said and asked for it to phrased in a way that won’t make PP pee-pee.
Malcolm Brogdon for Jonathan Issac or Markelle Fultz.
god just get him off the team I’m so tired of hearing about the crying.
Injuries aside, a lot of people on this sub eager to trade the reigning 6th man of the year right after we traded our starting pg.
