One NBA writer is proposing that the Los Angeles Clippers trade for Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon in a blockbuster deal. Lee Tran of Fadeaway World proposed the following trade idea between the Clippers and Blazers:
Los Angeles Clippers Receive: Malcolm Brogdon
Portland Trail Blazers Receive: Marcus Morris, Amir Coffey, Kobe Brown, 2029 Second-Round Pick (LAC), 2030 Second-Round Pick (LAC)
The Blazers acquired Brogdon from the Boston Celtics in the Jrue Holiday trade. It’s unknown if Brogdon will remain with Portland since the franchise is in rebuild mode in the post-Damian Lillard era.
