REPORT: Spurs Interested in Avery Bradley

After being acquired from the Detroit Pistons last week, Avery Bradley’s time with the Los Angeles Clippers may already be coming to an end.

With the trade deadline just hours away, rumors are surfacing all over twitter. The latest involves one of the newest Clippers, Avery Bradley.

The guard hasn’t been with the team long, but could be on the move yet again.

According to Marc Stein of the New York Times, Bradley may be on the move before Thursday’s deadline.

This comes as no surprise, as Avery Bradley will be a free-agent this upcoming summer. With a plethora of guards on the roster, there isn’t a whole lot of room for Bradley. Also, he’ll likely be looking towards a somewhat big contract, something the Clippers will have no interest in.

Bradley, who is averaging 15 points per game, would be a huge pickup for San Antonio. The Spurs are right in the middle of yet another playoff push, and adding a player like Avery would help bolster their team, especially on the defensive end. Just imagine a defensive duo of Bradley and Kawhi Leonard, yikes.

For the Clippers, this would be perfect. You add yet another first-rounder, which would give them three in the upcoming draft. LA has expressed their desire to get younger, and they would be doing that here. Or, they could use it as trade bait going forward as well. Avery Bradley has appeared in only two games since being traded. In those contests, he’s averaged 10 points, 1.5 steals, and 3 assists, while shooting 52 percent from the field. On the season, Bradley is averaging 15 points a game, while shooting 41 percent from the field and 37 percent from deep.
