Bradley had an injury-filled 2017/18 season after being dealt from the Celtics to the Pistons last offseason. He missed playing time with a groin injury after a strong first month, then was included in the Blake Griffin blockbuster in late January. He underwent season-ending sports hernia surgery in mid-March.
Bradley only appeared in six games with the Clippers after playing 40 games with Detroit. He averaged 14.3 PPG in 46 games last season.
He enjoyed a career year in Boston the previous season, his seventh and final with that organization. The 6’2” Bradley, 27, averaged a career-best 16.3 PPG, 6.1 RPG and 2.2 APG in 55 games.
Yea, I’m all in on Avery Bradley. He should be the first call made at midnight on July 1st.

Hearing that the Grizzlies — who will be looking for wing upgrades with their mid-level exception — have Avery Bradley high among their free-agent targets

In my opinion, there are two ways to look at this…
- He fits the Grit n Grind mold to a T as far as effort & defense , while at the same time addressing the needs of this team when it comes to the lack of 3pt shooting & scoring.
- He’s another guy that comes with an injury risk. Last season alone he missed playing time with a groin injury & underwent season-ending sports hernia surgery in mid-March
