Knicks Land Malcolm Brogdon
Celtics Receive:
Evan Fournier
Isaiah Hartenstein
Second-Round Pick
This deal affords them some short-term cap relief. Fournier’s deal expires after this season, whereas Brogdon has two years left on his deal. Boston should be happy to take back an expiring contract. Meanwhile, Fournier is an offensively talented player – while Derrick White is similar to Brogdon, Fournier could offer a different dynamic to this team’s attack.

Knicks Receive:

In all likelihood, the Knicks would use Brogdon as a sixth man. After all, Brogdon is the league’s reigning Sixth Man of the Year. All told, adding Brogdon should make the Knicks a better team. He may be able to help them avoid regression.
