Indiana Pacers Receive: G Derrick White, G Payton Pritchard, 2023 First-Round Pick (BOS), 2025 First-Round Pick (BOS)
Boston Celtics Receive: G Malcolm Brogdon

Sometimes, trade value exists in a vacuum. Other times, it requires context.

The last trade is probably fairer in a vacuum. Brogdon is 29, and he has a fairly extensive injury history. A first-round pick in exchange for his services seems fair.

On the other hand, contextually, rumors suggest that the Pacers can do better. This year, an inordinate number of lottery teams are looking to compete next season. The Sacramento Kings, Blazers and Wizards would probably all like to make the postseason in 2022-23.

That shifts the market. Any one of those teams could use Brogdon. If the Boston Celtics deem him the missing piece to their championship formula, they’ll have to make an aggressive offer to land him. This one qualifies.

If the Pacers won’t take Pritchard and two first-rounders for Brogdon, they’re probably not open to trading him at all. If they are, they ought to at least get on the phone with the Celtics in addition to the lottery teams we listed.
