Malcolm Brogdon will join the reigning Eastern Conference champs. The Boston Celtics have acquired Malcolm Brogdon from the Indiana Pacers in a multi-player deal, according to multiple reports. Celtics receive:• Malcolm BrogdonPacers receive:• Aaron Nesmith• Daniel Theis• Nik Stauskas• Malik Fitts• Juwan Morgan• 2023 first-round pickBrogdon’s fate with Indiana was essentially sealed when the Pacers acquired point guard Tyrese Haliburton from Sacramento in a flurry of moves at the midseason trade deadline. It was clear the franchise would rebuild the team with Haliburton as the foundational piece. Many expected Brogdon would be dealt on draft night, but Boston finally provided the offer Indiana was seeking on the second day of free agency. The Pacers receive Daniel Theis, Aaron Nesmith and Nic Stauskas — both first-round picks — Juwan Morgan and Malik Fitts. Aside from adding Theis’ physical presence, the Pacers could now have three first-round picks in 2023 and enough cap room to give them an additional $31 million to spend. In Brogdon, the Celtics are getting a proven leader who averaged 19.1 points, 5.9 assists and 5.1 rebounds last season. And he should fit right in with a backcourt that already features Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown and Derrick White, who played a key role in Boston’s run to its first NBA Finals appearance since 2010. The Celtics lost to Golden State in six games. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
