Boston Celtics navigate potential trades and player concerns ahead of new season.

Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens empathizes with Malcolm Brogdon after reportedly nearly trading him, says he's expected to be ready for the start of the season. Brogdon was initially supposed to be traded for Kristaps Pozingis, but the trade fell through, leaving Brogdon in a tough spot. There have been conflicting reports about the severity of Brogdon’s forearm injury, but he is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season in October. Brogdon had a strong season in his first year in Boston, winning the Sixth Man of the Year Award.
