While the NBA world breathlessly awaits the next update in the Kevin Durant saga, the Boston Celtics flew under the radar to bolster their backcourt Friday.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported the Celtics acquired Malcolm Brogdon from the Indiana Pacers for Daniel Theis, Aaron Nesmith, Nik Stauskas, Malik Fitts and Juwan Morgan, along with a 2023 first-round pick.

Some were surprised to see the relatively small price required to get Brogdon.

Here are the players now set to be under contract with the Pacers and Celtics, per Spotrac, excluding cap holds for free agents or incoming rookies.
