Clippers to target this veteran guard in free agency?

“I would consider Brogdon a primary target for the Clippers,” Murray said (Twitter video link). “ … They almost traded (for him in the past). I think if Brogdon would have been a buyout guy (after the February trade deadline), I think the Clippers would have considered him along with Ben Simmons.”

Murray noted that Brogdon had a preexisting relationship with former Clippers executive Michael Winger, who now leads Washington’s front office.

“At the very least, there will be some consideration there,” Murray said. “He fits everything that the Clippers look for as far as a point guard who can shoot, who has positional size. That’s like a bullet on the board there.”

When healthy, Brogdon has been a very productive NBA player. He won Rookie of the Year back in 2017, Sixth Man of the Year in ’23, and holds career averages of 15.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists on .463/.388/.874 shooting in 463 appearances (29.1 MPG).

However, injuries have been a major issue for the 32-year-old. He was limited to just 24 games this season for the Wizards and has appeared in fewer than 40 contests in three of the past four seasons. That could limit his market value this summer.
