After reported Malcolm Brogdon trade, the Celtics now have a third of the NBPA executive committee

The Boston Celtics have reportedly traded for Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

This move should bolster the backcourt for Boston as Brogdon, who won NBA Rookie of the Year in 2017, is a serviceable floor general and primary ball-handler.

One reason this trade is particularly interesting, though, is because Brogdon serves on the NBPA’s executive committee alongside Boston’s Jaylen Brown and Grant Williams. Those individuals are three of the nine who have been elected by their peers at the Board of Player Representatives Meetings. They are three of the six vice presidents.
