At 23-23, the Boston Celtics‘ rival, the Los Angeles Lakers, wants some help. Because they’ve given up many of their assets for the roster they have now, they have limited options. However, that won’t stop them from trying. One of their targets in mind is former Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon.

Yahoo Sports! Jake Fischer that the Lakers are among the teams keeping their eye on Brogdon.

“In addition to the Knicks and Lakers, league personnel believe Brogdon has another team with legitimate interest in his services: Houston,” Fischer wrote in a January 26 story. In his lone year with the Celtics, Brogdon won the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year. Brogdon has only continued his stellar production since the Celtics traded him to the Portland Trail Blazers.

Brogdon is averaging 15.7 points and 5.3 assists while shooting 43.7% from the field and 42.2% from three. The Trail Blazers have started a rebuild, and though they have veterans like Brogdon, Jerami Grant, and Deandre Ayton, Brogdon’s services would be better used on a team trying to win now.

Following a surprise trip to the Western Conference Finals, the 2023-24 season has not gone as planned for the Lakers. Brogdon is in the first year of a two-year, $45 million contract.
