Indiana Pacers: Winners and losers from the Malcolm Brogdon trade

After months of guesswork and not-so-obscure wishes, the Indiana Pacers finally dropped the axe on Malcolm Brogdon, sending him to the Boston Celtics in a move that should benefit both clubs in the long-run.

Sending Brogdon to the Celtics was a bit unprecedented, but the Pacers were still able to clinch what they wanted all along—a first-round pick and some serious cap relief. Along with those, Indiana also acquired a miscellany of players which include Aaron Nesmith, Daniel Theis, Nik Stauskas, Malik Fitts, and Juwan Morgan.

Thus, without further ado, here are the biggest winners and losers from the Pacers-Celtics trade involving Malcolm Brogdon.
