I am too anal about this, whatever. Brogdon. Not Brogdan. Where do people come up with Brogdan? Is this a Bogdanovic issue?

Well, this isn’t great if true:

KOC said on Simmons's podcast last night/this morning that Brogdon has had a foot issue since he was drafted that some doctors see as a "ticking time bomb." Sounds kind of like the injury that screwed up the Carlos Correa signing(s).
Here's what he's written about it:

Why would this mean that MB would be untradeable in the short term, unless MB was playing through some foot issues that we didn't hear about.
Fully expecting an NBA Brogdon smear campaign, after the Clippers screwed up
ESPN/CAA pr machine led by the usual suspects.

Yeah, there's no way to know near-term: is this the longstanding medical red flag used as an excuse by someone in the process, or some change to his actual prognosis?
Easy to imagine, given the history of the foot, that this simply reflects different conclusions by different medical teams.

I suspect the Clippers are probably THE team most sensitive about bringing in guys with injury issues at this point, with the Pelicans #2. Those teams have had their fill of highly-paid players who can't stay on the court.
Except untradeable in the "short term" makes it sound like it's something every medical team would agree to.
Unless the issue is that MB should be getting surgery on his tendon and shouldn't be putting it off.
Brogdon arrived at UVA with a foot problem that required surgery at the end of his freshman season. (He redshirted the next season while rehabbing.) Maybe the Clippers are just wary of his long-term prognosis, but If the Celtics were worried that Brogdon would be unavailable for most, if not all, of the coming season, why would they trade one of their healthy point guards and leave themselves with only Derrick White and Payton Pritchard at that position?
This is my issue with Windhorst----it's not like he reviewed the MRI. Is that was the Clippers flak told him? Is that what the Celtics told him? Is that his speculation based on what who knows told him? I have zero idea...I don't have any way to know whether what he said about 'short term' is reliable or not. It may be, I just don't know
My guess is they had some concerns about whether Brogdon should have had surgery (which would be a November/December return from now) and tried to use that to reduce their cost, Celtics just moved on now they're playing it up for the press.
Yup, also this. Feels a lot like they get some doctors' opinions and move him to a western contender later.

Yeah, I should clarify, November/December is long end of if it's extensor tendon surgery, not clear that is what it is, and from Himmelsbach's post my guess is it's less serious so they think it's a shorter timeline so they can wait to see.
That's much less ominous. Just seems like the midnight opt-out on KP as well as the draft today condensed the timeline too much.
It is interesting they pivoted to Smart trade - but maybe the plan was always to move both this offseason

Makes it more likely that Brogdon moves now, but may have to staple a conditional pick to it based on games played.
This and Windy's tweet can't both be true. I guess Windy was carrying some water for LAC? Or maybe just got bad info.
Does Brogdon (plus filler?) for Paul George as a Posey type 2nd unit captain make any sense whatsoever?
The Clippers just rejected Brogdon's medical, but now they're going to trade one of their two superstars for him? What?
I think you can reconcile the two if you emphasize Windy's use of "short term." I initially thought the tweet alluded to the chronic foot issue, but that's not a "short term: problem. So, it must be the elbow and some question as to whether he can be ready for the regular season. And you know how the Clippers hate to have their guys miss regular season games.
The team that acquired Kawhi and George? Those guys? You may be right that NOW they are the most sensitive.
It's Jim Brogmire. Other teams are a bit reticent to take a guy who has a past of alcohol abuse and let's his personal life interfere with performance.
Surprised this thread made it so far without a Top Gun reference...regarding the player himself, can he be used in a more traditional PG role? I know his primary role was scoring last year, but the few years before with Indiana he had an assist % more in line with a distributor?
Paul George would be challenging Tatum for being best player on the team, he most certainly wouldn't be a 2nd unit anything
He's only 33. Last year he played 9 fewer games than Jaylen Brown and was significantly better in them.
Brad says he tried to calm the waters with Bragdan.
