Malcolm Brogdon’s relationship with the Boston Celtics appears to be on shaky ground, stemming from a failed trade deal in June. Initially, the Celtics were close to trading Brogdon to the Los Angeles Clippers in a three-team trade that would have brought Kristaps Porzingis from the Washington Wizards to Boston. However, the Clippers canceled the deal while the Celtics proceeded with a separate trade involving Marcus Smart to the Memphis Grizzlies centered around Porzingis.
