When the Pacers just signed Brogdon in the summer of 2019, it was hailed as one of the best transfers. After just 3 years, the Pacers have turned their attention to Halliburton, and Brogdon may leave this summer.
According to reporter Marc Stein, the Pacers left multiple teams with the feeling that they would try to trade Malcolm Brogdon in the offseason. Brogdon has another 3-year contract with the Pacers, with a contract value of more than $60 million.
Over the past three seasons, Brogdon has played well with the Pacers. He averaged 18.9 points, 6.3 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game and shot 44 percent from the field. Brogdon, though, has a poor attendance, playing just 36 games this season.
Prior to joining the Pacers, Brogdon played for the Bucks for three seasons and won the honor of best rookie. For this reason, Alphabet Brother admired Brogdon very much, and he once admitted in an interview that he hoped that the two would continue to be teammates.
Brogdon won't be an All-Star, but he could have an immediate impact on any team in the league. In the case of the Lakers, he can help James and Thick Brow on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. To this end, there are rumors that the Lakers hope to use Westbrook to trade Hilde + Brogdon.
Brogdon's future remains to be seen, but there's no doubt that if the Pacers seriously consider trading him, he definitely won't lack suitors.
