Why The Boston Celtics Do The Deal
Something about this deal feels callous for the Celtics.
Brogdon is playing well. Moreover, the Celtics surrendered a first-round pick to acquire him this summer. Would they really ship him off just to make a marginal upgrade?
They should. The Celtics’ championship window is currently open. They need to capitalize on it. Any upgrade this team can make to their roster is a good one.
Make no mistake: Conley is an upgrade over Brogdon. He’s a more reliable floor spacer, and a better playmaker.
