Malcolm Brogdon trade ideas

[TBpup]

I though he was too injured or damaged to be traded. How would he expect to be a starter? Or is he actually healthy?

I believe Brad Stephens indicated the arm injury had healed and he was ready for camp before the trade discussions.
Reigning 6 MoY.

 

[inconceivable]

Blazers social media corrected his name. False alarm.

They're not going through all that trouble only to trade him.

At guard, 2023 nba sixth man of the year, wearing number 13, Malcolm Brogdon!!

 

[perkinsfor3]

Clippers will give up a pick and a Morrii twin and we'll be fine.

 

[THE HCP]

Word on the street is that Brogdon has been traded...

Quick, what street FAMS? I wonder if any of our other insiders have “heard” this? HA!

 

[Samuel]

You guys saw the nonsense droppingdimes20 post re brogdon and Houston, yea?

 

[maxiep]

What about a three way with the Clips and Philly where we send Brogdon to PHI, LAC sends RoCo to PHI, Harden goes to LAC, we take Nico and Mann, a 1st from LAC and PHI?

We then put Mann (2 years, $21MM remaining) on the block and eat Nico's expiring deal?

Philly is done with Harden, get their PG and some cap relief, the Clips land Harden and we get two more 1st rounders.

RoCo and Mann could be interchanged. We could also take Morris. The Clips could also send 2nd rounders out to sweeten the pot.

No, but he said Dame to Miami was a done deal in July. Whoops!

I’m guessing teams are offering 2nd(s) rn for Brogdon. And Joe understandably wants a first. I don’t think Morey thinks he needs to attach anything to ‘star’ James Harden.

What street?

Chow Mein Lane in West Linn.

I take it Brogdon is asked to stay put with gift cards to Sammy's Clam Chowda House, while Cronin works to drop ship him to complete the trifecta trade. Performing a holding pattern like Sentinel Guards.

The key is to keep getting more manageable contracts. Just a guess, of course

Marang says we aren’t trading him right away.

Sounds right. I looked at all the teams who potentially would be interested in Malcolm and I couldn't find anything that worked for both teams salary-wise without taking back numerous players. Maybe Batum and Terrance Mann, but not a lot of other options. By Mid December I assume it will start to get better.

We could get a year of service from him, then deal him next year, unless some team throws a lot at us at the trade deadline. He'd be a great addition to our stable of guards.

 

[maxiep]

Here's the scene in Philly: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nb...-the-rest-of-the-east-gets-better/ar-AA1hzAvE

Harden at this point is becoming a liability to the Sixers. If we can take advantage, so much the better.

Low first-rounders or a load of second-rounders and cap filler seems to be the assumed price. I don't think that price goes down if he's healthy with us. We can be patient on this one.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

They may not be getting good offers because of health questions so may need to play him for a month to show he's OK and still a baller.

This seems to think that teams we KNOW have first round picks available (Miami, Houston) only have second-rounders. First rounder or bust! I'm sort of intrigued by Houston, although we'd kind of sully ourselves trading for Porter Jr., even if he never even gets on a plane to Portland.

Picks that Houston has:

I actually didn't think about this before, but you may be right.

Blazers couldn't have had Dame or Jrue sit home because of NBA new resting policy for stars.

But Brogdon can sit home, as the policy doesn't apply to him. It's only for recent multi-time allstar or all NBA players.

That said I'd think if a trade isn't don't the Blazers may have him play to prove he's healthy.... we'll see.

He proves it and we get more later!

Here's an article about whether or not OKC may have interest. They won't be able to use all those draft picks. Of course, it appears most of their interest is in Williams, not Brogdon. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nb...lazers-fire-sale/ar-AA1hzuf1#image=AA1hrtba|1

This article says that Kevin Porter Jr's guarantee goes up to $3 mil for 24/25 at the beginning of this season. Might be a little motivation for Houston to give up a decent pick or player for Brogdon. Or not.

Hadn't thought of them, yes Brogdon and Williams could both make a lot of sense there. They have more than enough elite young talent and elite picks, might need a couple good vets. If we could get two more FRP for both guys the Dame haul gets to 5 FRP and two swaps.... wow

KPJ has negative value right now. We have the luxury of taking his deal, never putting him on a plane to Portland, and taking extra assets back in the process..

Agreed. At this point, they have taken so many future picks, the value of those picks to OKC is actually reduced as they don't have roster spots for all of them. It could be a nice opportunity to move them to a team on a different competitive timeline than us.

 

[Natebishop3]

I would frankly trade both Brogdon and Williams.

With such a young roster and so many years of expected lottery trips projected ahead for our Blazers; re-acquiring our pick from Chicago might actually have a fairly low cost right now. It might look very possible to Chicago that the pick only has the value of a very poor 1st rounder or good 2nd rounder. More and more I like the idea of pushing to acquire this now while the cost is low. Even if we are in the lottery for most of these years getting it back unlocks our future picks if we eventually want to pivot to a win now move. It also fully enables the 2028 swap with Milwaukee.

Who knows - if we make a good run next year and get close to the playin, or add a good veteran next summer along with growth of our youth it might become much much more expensive to get that pick back in 12 months.

I don't see any way Chicago would give up Patrick Williams for Brogdon. However they are very committed to winning now as evident by giving Vucevic an extension, an aging DeRozen, and obviously have a massive hole at PG. I'd be very happy with this type of deal;



Gets the Dame haul up to Ayton, Williams - 5 FRP and two swaps!

 

[wizenheimer]

if you assume good health, as it is right now Brogdon is probably Portland's best guard; the guard with the most established 2-way ability. He's easily the most versatile, can play PG or SG, and has fairly high level 3&D credentials.

But as a Blazer fan, I know that assuming good health for a player who has had very little good health in his career is a fool's errand. Brogdon and Robert Williams are both injury magnets. I think Williams is worth the risk because the payoff could be high and 12M/year is about an MLE contract; and at 26 he mostly fits the apparent timeline. And of course, we've been conditioned to see Blazer bigs sitting behind the bench in street clothes

Brogdon? He'll turn 31 in December, so he doesn't really fit any longer-term timeline. And his weight isn't enough to offset the reality he under 6'4 w/o shoes....so he'd just be another in a long line of significantly undersized SF's Portland settles for

all that means he's a fine player....as in we should be fine with Portland keeping him for a while, especially if the minutes he takes is from Ant & Thybulle. And we should be fine with Portland trading him for a marginal SF and 2nd round picks. Yeah, a 1st would be better, but I'm not sure he has that value right now

Trade them for a small forward that's not small.
