Celtics have traded for Malcolm Brogdon

Malcolm Brogdon has been on the Pacer’s trade block for a while since signing his new contract last October. It worked out well for both sides as one side needed to get rid of a playmaker and one side needed to get a true playmaker.

The trade has the Celtics shipping over Daniel Theis, Aaron Nesmith and a 2023 first round pick. Plus, as reported by multiple people, they will include Nik Stauskas, Malik Fitts and Juwan Morgan.

The Celtics only received Malcolm Brogdon – nothing else, unless new information comes out in the coming hours.

This is a good pickup by the Celtics, why? Because they picked up a playmaker that can limit the turnovers for them, run the court, has great court vision, and is a good scorer. The Celtics now don’t have to rely upon Jaylen Brown all the time.

Again, as said in the opening paragraph, a win-win for both sides.

Jaylen Brown Penalized $25K For Throat-Slash Gesture

According to the NBA, they have fined Jaylen Brown $25,000 for making a gesture that saw him taking his thumb/hand across his throat in a slashing interpretation.

The throat-slashing gesture came after he posterized Isaiah Stewart in the first quarter of Wednesday’s game.

For those wondering, the league deemed it an “inappropriate gesture.”

According to multiple reports, the Boston Celtics have waived Lonnie Walker. He signed an Exhibit 10 contract earlier in the offseason.

Head coach Joe Mazzulla loved the work Walker showed the team during training camp and the preseason; however, if Boston were to sign him to their roster for the season, it would have cost them $11 million in salary. That would have been before the tax penalties.

President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens told the 25-year-old how difficult it would have been to make the team due to money and depth. Even with all that, Walker still opted to sign with them and show them his skills.

With the type of contract he has signed, if Walker doesn’t find another team to sign with, he can play for the Maine Celtics of the G League.

In 322 career games, Walker averaged 9.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 20.3 minutes.

Lonnie Walker Signs With The Boston Celtics

According to multiple reports, led by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Boston Celtics are adding Lonnie Walker IV to their team.

The 25-year-old is signing a one-year deal as a prove-it deal to the league that he can ball and be a useful piece to a championship/playoff contending team.

In 58 games for the Brooklyn Nets, Walker averaged 9.7 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. His shooting splits were 42.3% from the field and 38.4% from behind the arc.
