Knicks:
This is a very popular idea of a trade but i'll just throw this out again with a bit more description, but Brogdon is perfect for New York
He got the shooting, the defending isnt bad, can run the team. Recent 6MOTY, just proves how perfect he is fitting in as a backup PG role for NYK
Quickley is ofc their previous PG, but you can see that Quickley isnt too gd of a fit beside Brunson, and is getting low mins at his quality, but, Brogdon will be a better fit, with how gd he can function offball, while also hving the defense
Another thing is ever since Quickley left, and left with no one backing up PG, their bench unit has rlly not been gd without Brunson. McBride showed improvement but is not gd enough, therefore they rlly need a backup PG which will be Brogdon, to properly run the bench and improve the non-brunson mins
With how Knicks been after the OG trade, just shows that they can fr be a legit threat out east, and need to make the move that can truly take them to
Blazers:
I think its quite clear that they should send Brogdon away, even when Malcolm has a usage for them, in a rebuilding season, they should fully let Scoot and Simons to grow in the PG spot
What I wanna analyse on this post is, how will the Brogdon trade value be. I have went in depth on Brogdon's trade value from 2022, when he was traded from Indiana to Boston
Lets start on Brogdon's stats in the season (per 36):
21-22: 21/6/6 45/31 (6 attempts)/86
23-24: 20/5/7 44/42 (7 attempts)/83
Similar stats, both seasons on a non-playoffs team, but considering Brogdon is shooting 3s way better on more attempts, and got a 6MOTY to prove his value last year, i think based on performance his value will be slightly higher
The trade to Celtics includes the following:
Daniel Theis (salary filer), Aaron Nesmith, 2023 BOS frp, few more bums
To Pacers, here's where the value of this trade came from:
Aaron Nesmith, underperforming 14th pick sophomore, but it's still a young guy for a selling team
2023 BOS frp, expected to be below 20s, still a frp in return
saving 45M in salary, clearing 3 years 68M of Brogdon for 2 years 18M Theis and rookie deal of Aaron Nesmith
In this planned NYK package, what Knicks will give up will be Fournier, who's expiring. That will be 22.5M saved for NYK, only half of the money Pacers saved in the 1st Brogdon deal.
Without a young player returning to Portland, and Knicks currently alrdy being the 7th best team in the league with the 24th pick, 1 Knicks frp should not get the deal done after further detailed thinking from myself
Instead, to cover up the value of saving another 22.5M and a young guy returning to the original Brogdon team, another frp should be needed. Here i propose to have the 2025 MIL frp top 10 protected back to Portland, with 1-4 going to Milwalkee, 5-10 going to New York, and 11-30 going to Portland
With that i think the Brogdon deal will be fair
