Morris plus Robert Covington and his own expiring contract still makes the math work for Paul.įor all the mounting noise about Paul George’s trade candidacy in Los Angeles, don’t expect the Clippers to part with the eight-time All-Star. Phoenix and Washington have planned for that trade call to take place and be completed Friday, sources said, with Beal, reserve guard Jordan Goodwin and former second-round pick Isaiah Todd expected to fly to Phoenix and conduct their physicals.Ĭould the Clippers not getting Brogdon lead Los Angeles back to conversations about Paul? The Wizards have informed teams they don’t want to incur long-term money in trade scenarios this offseason, sources said, and Marcus Morris’ expiring $17 million salary was already heading out the door in the first Porziņģis-to-Boston three-teamer. There’s also a chance this trade with Boston and Memphis, and any subsequent deal surrounding veteran ball-handler Chris Paul, could become included in the Beal blockbuster with Phoenix that was agreed to last weekend. Morris started at point guard alongside Bradley Beal last season after arriving from Denver in the 2022 offseason deal that brought Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to the champion Nuggets. The Wizards have already begun contacting opposing teams about trading Monte Morris, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Perhaps Boston can use one of the additional picks added from Memphis to help facilitate a subsequent move. It remains to be seen if the Celtics will continue exploring Brogdon trades after nearly dealing the veteran guard, or if his medical situation will prevent any movement there at all.
In conversations with league personnel, Brogdon seemed the most likely Celtic to be moved, and there he was in the original Porziņģis framework with the Clippers. The Celtics ultimately netted the pick in the 20s they were eyeing as well.

35 pick plus Payton Pritchard for a later first-round pick, sources said, but Boston was clearly aggressive in prioritizing bigger moves to upgrade a contending roster, and you can’t get much bigger than a 7-foot-3 center who quietly regained All-Star form for much of the 2022-23 season. The Celtics were laying groundwork for potential opportunities to deal the No. (Photo by Stephen Nadler/PxImages/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images)īoston had been active in conversations around the league regarding both Brogdon and Smart, sources said, with the goal of clearing its logjam in the backcourt and adding reinforcements to a frontline that features oft-injured Robert Williams and aging Al Horford. The Memphis Grizzlies agreed to a deal to land Marcus Smart on Wednesday night.
