Veteran left to rest at end of season after elbow problem, Malcolm Brogdon enters this offseason with a $22 million final year remaining on his contract. But in Oregon's great struggle with the Blazers, the leader/back left a good impression.
With him, who ended his season (of only 39 games) at 15.7 points and 5.5 assists on average, very close to his career averages, all at a very clean 44% shooting success and 41% at 3-points , the Blazers finished with a record of 15 wins for 24 losses. Without him: 6 victories for 37 defeats!
“I really don't know what's going to happen [cet été] »he whispered to The Oregonian. “In any case, I can say that I really enjoyed my experience in Portland. They have great fans who have supported us all year. I have built very good relationships within the franchise. That's about all I can tell you. »
During the season, the Blazers already tried to find him through a trade, but the offers did not satisfy Joe Cronin and his team. While the Knicks seemed very interested…
“If we are healthy, we can have a chance to play in the play-in, at least”
Of great help in stabilizing the lead alongside the young, and necessarily inexperienced, Scoot Henderson (38% on shots including 32% at 3-points) and Shaedon Sharpe (40% on shots including 33% at 3-points), In any case, Malcolm Brogdon seems to have taken a liking to his role as big brother in Portland.
But he inevitably aspires to better, he who will enter his ninth professional season, at the start of the next school year.
“This season has clearly been more mental than physical. I tried to adapt and be the wise guy in the locker room, the one that young players come to for advice, tips and structure. I enjoyed that role and really enjoyed being with the guys. »
Whether he's still here or not next season, Malcolm Brogdon only wishes one thing for this young Blazers team: health.
“This team has very good elements. But it must be able to use all its strength. This is very important for any team, but even more so for this one which has had a lot of injuries this year. If we're healthy, we can have a chance to play the play-in, at least. »
