The Boston Celtics attempted to trade Malcolm Brogdon to the Los Angeles Clippers, but the deal fell through. In response, a proposal has been made to trade Brogdon to the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for Keldon Johnson and three future first-round picks. Johnson, a promising 23-year-old wing, would provide depth for the Celtics and has shown scoring ability on a bad team. However, trading Brogdon would leave the Celtics thin at the guard position and require giving up valuable future assets. The trade is worth pursuing only if the relationship with Brogdon cannot be repaired.

The San Antonio Spurs are reportedly looking to acquire another first-round pick to address their point guard situation and pair with their recent top pick, Wembanyama. While the number one overall pick is off the table, players like Keldon Johnson could be traded to move up in the draft. The Spurs have an abundance of draft capital and could use future pick swaps as sweeteners for any possible deals they might initiate. The team lacks depth at the guard positions and has a decision to make with Tre Jones entering restricted free agency this summer. The Spurs have intriguing talents on the wing, but their backcourt has more questions.
