Would be unlikely the long term prognosis of Brogdon's elbow is a major issue. Strange.Marc Stein

Concerns raised by the Clippers about Malcolm Brogdon's injury status, league sources say, led to the collapse of the three-team trade expected to send Kristaps Porzingis to Boston before midnight tonight. A direct Wizards/Celtics deal has not been ruled out.
Bullshit excuse because they will get Paul instead.Sounds like bullshit, I mean come on. Unless he needs Tommy John?
I mean, who knows... tough to trade for a guy without a thorough medical when he's currently injured and you don't know how he's healing. Not like they can pop him into an MRI in the next hourSounds like bullshit, I mean come on. Unless he needs Tommy John?
Sure, but the draw for WAS was a 1st round pick tomorrow. Not clear a future 1st would be on the table for Brogdon, much easier for a team to trade one of the last picks in a known draft than a future pick that will likely be better than that.If the Clips were the sticking point the Wiz could always just trade for Brogdon straight up now with the idea of flipping him for picks or an additional TPE later without the pressure of the midnight deadline for KP’s opt-in…
sounds like all sides are posturing, but it sure did seem like the Clippers were caught stealing the family silver as the Wizards demolish their houseWouldn't be the first time you were right! Amirite?
I’m sure the Celtics have their own they can share. Absent something crazy like a torn UCL, it seems highly unlikely Brogdon’s injury is going to be a long term issue.I mean, who knows... tough to trade for a guy without a thorough medical when he's currently injured and you don't know how he's healing.

Yeah, was more of a wishful thought than predicting a likely outcome.Sure, but the draw for WAS was a 1st round pick tomorrow. Not clear a future 1st would be on the table for Brogdon, much easier for a team to trade one of the last picks in a known draft than a future pick that will likely be better than that.
I mean they probably have one from a couple weeks ago, but I guess the question is what we mean by long term. If it's an extensor tendon and they think he needs surgery that's 4-6 months, and for a vet rental that's a concern.I’m sure the Celtics have their own they can share.

Brogdon is signed for the next two yearsI mean they probably have one from a couple weeks ago, but I guess the question is what we mean by long term. If it's an extensor tendon and they think he needs surgery that's 4-6 months, and for a vet rental that's a concern.
I guess, but their window is next year, basically their whole team can be free agents after this upcoming season.Brogdon is signed for the next two years
yeah, team and Porzingis just need to agree to a new date and clear it with the league. Gordon Hayward and the Celtics did it a few years back: https://celticswire.usatoday.com/2020/11/17/nba-boston-celtics-hayward-opt-in-extended/Per Twitter, it can.
I think they have a two year window. PG and Kawhi are not turning down their 49 million options next year. And they have Powell, Mann, and Zubac under contractI guess, but their window is next year, basically their whole team can be free agents after this upcoming season.
Strange that the Celtics are so intent on getting it done immediately then.Per Twitter, it can.
He’s now just reporting whatever spin each wants to give now piece meal and is somewhat contradicting himself in the process.Did Woj break into Brad’s house or something?

You think they won't? I assume they will, now my guess is both re-up for multiple years in LA, but who knows. Still they're built for this year, their stars are aging and injury riddled, they have a bunch of old vets on 1 year deals getting big minutes, if they don't think Brogdon will be back and healthy for all of it trade makes less sense.I think they have a two year window. PG and Kawhi are not turning down their 49 million options next year. And they have Powell, Mann, and Zubac under contract
Well they can move the opt in, but I believe KP would need to agree to that. He could be the one putting pressure to make it happen.Strange that the Celtics are so intent on getting it done immediately then.
"Ime Udoka top candidate to coach the team"Woj: “Three way deal fell apart after Porzingis expressed desire to form Superteam in DC with Kyrie Irving and Chris Paul.”
Who knows the details of the holdup, but sure they can.I mean, who knows... tough to trade for a guy without a thorough medical when he's currently injured and you don't know how he's healing. Not like they can pop him into an MRI in the next hour
Woj seems to immediately tweet out whatever he hears whereas Shams is a bit more methodical.Shams just watching?
I can’t tell if this is parody or true. If it’s not parody then I’m immediately out on Porzingis who is apparently a masochistWoj: “Three way deal fell apart after Porzingis expressed desire to form Superteam in DC with Kyrie Irving and Chris Paul.”
Would probably have to fly him back from Turks and Caicos first.Who knows the details of the holdup, but sure they can.
Any elbow MRI would take 20-25 minutes and they would bump any regular scheduled patients if needed.
The MRI interpretation would not take more than a few minutes after the scan is completed.
They don't have MRIs there?Would probably have to fly him back from Turks and Caicos first.
Now the Clippers care about injury history after giving so much money to KawhiMarc Stein

They probably read the Internet's reaction to them adding yet another injury risk to their roster.Now the Clippers care about injury history after giving so much money to Kawhi
Legitimately.... might only be 1 based on the stories from 2022 of them replacing "the" MRI machine.They don't have MRIs there?
Agreed, I expect they added some value. Maybe a pick? We'll see.hope we didn't have to give up much else beyond what was originally in the deal.
Feel like WAS should be comfortable in their ability to move Brogdon, maybe we added Pritchard or something to grease the wheels?
I think we need Pritchard, at least for the regular season.hope we didn't have to give up much else beyond what was originally in the deal.

Honestly I think he's gone either way. Word was they were shopping him hard to move up into the 1st.I think we need Pritchard, at least for the regular season.
