In the end Damian Lillard (plus Nurkic, Little, Keon Johnson) got the the Blazers:
Robert Williams C 25yo
Malcolm Brogdon G 30yo
DeAndre Ayton C 25yo
Toumani Camara G 23yo
GSW 2024 1rp (top 4 protected)
Celtics 2029 1rp
Bucks 2029 1rp
2028 and 2030 swap rights with the Bucks

Brogdon is obviously not part of that young group, so I think they're gonna trade him; they can't get too much in return but some teams could surely offer a promising young guy or future picks. They could trade him soon or have him play some minutes to show the league he's healthy before trading him

Would Brogdon be that bad as a veteran presence and backup PG if they keep him? He has had some deep playoff runs with Milwaukee and Boston and played with some big names there. And he seems like a generally smart/educated/respected/professional guy.

The Blazers welcomed Brogdon on Twitter (they didn't welcome Jrue), so they might keep him for now. It seemed he was unhappy when the Celtics announced that Derrick White was going to start over him after Smart was traded, so I don't know why he'd want to backup Scoot. Unless he's not going to backup Scoot, then I'd have to ask what the hell the Blazers are doing. But if he turns out to be okay with it, I'd be more than happy to keep him.

(Edit): They just announced that he's wearing 92, so it looks like he's staying for now.
