Ben makes too much money and we can't send players out with Brogdon to match the money, we need a package returning that can be matched within 80%-125% plus or minus 100k of Brogdon's 22.5M so the range is like 17.9-28.2M in returning salary and that 17.9M number only applies to teams that are below the aprons.
Simmons and Siakam both make way too much to bring back in a trade for Brogdon because for the next 60 days Brogdon can't be packaged with another player outgoing from our team. I guess if this trade with Boston isn't finalized we could fuck around with it but I think it might be.
We can't even do the Lonzo, Pat Williams deal that I've been saying I want actually... that's too much cash coming back to us and Pat can't fit into our TPE to break it up into two deals. Edit: So if we're trading with the Bulls it needs to be Lonzo, our pick coming back and another FRP because Lonzo has a very negative value contract... next season it's an expiring but that doesn't carry value until around the trade deadline in February 2024. I mean obviously if Pat Williams is the guy we want there are other packages but they likely wouldn't include our pick coming back.
Malcolm Brogdon is Instagram Official Jod probably did not like the offers and did not want to rush a trade
The Jrue-to-Boston deal was just announced this morning, but likely hasn't been ratified by the league office yet. If another deal sending Brogdon elsewhere (eg, to Chicago) is agreed upon, it likely can be bundled with the Jrue deal. Jrue out and Ball/WilliamsX2 works.
he wanted to start in boston. it was becoming a thing. I dont think he'll be a malcontent but better to move him along sooner rather than later, imo. want as many sharpe minutes as possible
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 don't think he gets a welcome post on Instagram if a trade was there. Eventually he will be traded, but I'm curious what happens to him until then
joe could just be feinting at him staying. time is on his side, finally—there's no auspice of a messy training camp or media day or anything with brogdon—whereas an acquiring team would want him aboard as soon as possible. i'm sure joe's keeping malcolm and his agent in the loop as to what might be going down.
