In a recent appearance on The Third Apron podcast with Yossi Gozlan, The Athletic’s Law Murray talked about the LA Clippers offseason. Murray suggested that free agent guard Malcolm Brogdon could be a primary target for the Clippers this summer.
“I would consider Brogdon a primary target for the Clippers,” Murray said. “They almost traded (for him previously). I think if Brogdon would have been a buyout guy, I think the Clippers would have considered him along with Ben Simmons.”
This past season, Brogdon played 24 games for the Washington Wizards. Brogdon averaged 12.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. The veteran guard shot 43% from the field, including 28.6% from behind the arc.
Brogdon is now set to be an unrestricted free agent in July. It’s unknown where Brogdon fits in for the rebuilding Wizards, where he spent one season following a deal from the Portland Trail Blazers. Washington added veterans Khris Middleton and Marcus Smart at last season’s trade deadline.
