Dependent on his health. But worth the gamble. Feel like salary cap space is really all they’re risking.
To put into perspective, since 2017 Malcolm Brogdon has played in fewer games than Ben Simmons during that same span (not including playoffs).
So he’s only played more than 2/3 of his teams regular season games twice in his career (Rookie Year he played 75, third year he played 64). If the Celts are a championship team, you’re looking at potentially another 20 playoff games.
I could see KG landing in Miami they are clearing some roster spots out as well.
I also wonder whether Justin Anderson is going to get another chance or if he decides to take the plunge and head overseas. He did well in the G League, but he hasn’t quite been able to hang onto a roster spot in a while now.
Also, anybody know if Mike Scott has just hung it up completely or if he’s going overseas or something?
It’s funny. At this time last year, KG was battling Gary Payton III for a two-way spot with the Warriors.
GPIII just signed for three years and 28 million.
Damn I forgot about that. So true. Just shows how the NBA is so finicky and timing and situation can be everything.
Welcome home Malcolm …welcome home. Brad finally corrected Ainge’s wrong from the 2016 draft.
I know Brad is working with Ainge’s pieces, but it feels like in 15ish months on the job he is already out performing his predecessor. I’m also extremely harsh on Ainge his handling of those multiple picks.
No please please please stay healthy - knocking on a forest of wood.
Looks like KAT is about to become the biggest wing in the NBA with Gobert coming to town to man the middle.
That’s fine, he’ll play plenty of minutes and probably close out games a fair bit when the double-big lineup isn’t the right fit.
Eh, we’ll see how long that plan lasts. Given Robert Williams’ injury history and Horford’s age, I think Brogdon will start a decent amount of the time (assuming his own health)
Hate seeing Brogs off the bench but don’t think it’s the worst. As several have mentioned zid imagine the Cs lineup changes and adapts as the season progresses. Also could see Brogs closing more games than he starts. Last coming off the bench could save him some wear n tear and have him playoff ready
BROGDON could be a legit super sixth man able to realistically plug in at the 1-3 on a team like the Cs. If it could help him manage his health, it could also be the key to him earning another 50-80 million in the nba, and maybe even get a ring.
President and NBA Champion does have a nice ring to it
Any rumblings on Kyle, Mike Tobey, Mamadi, etc. Kyle worked out with LA last week and still haven’t heard Tobeys plans after Valencia, figured Dallas might bite on that Olympics combo, and what’s the word with Mamadi?
Feel like they are going to be puzzle pieces that fit last after the star shuffles finalize
Tobey is getting targeted by Olympiacos.
He’d be a defensive liability in the NBA. International game suits his play style.
Someone start a 2022-23 thread…
