Will Avery Bradley recreate the form he showed with the Celtics? How will he fit in with the Los Angeles Clippers roster? Let’s look deeper into the matter.
With the 2018-19 NBA season fast approaching, the Los Angeles Clippers have succeeded in remodeling their roster to conform to their objective of staying competitive while forging flexibility for the future. In their pursuit to generate adequate cap space in order to acquire two maximum free agents, they’d shed the sizeable contracts of their franchise cornerstones in exchange for quality players on expiring deals. Featuring in the latter category, two-way wing Avery Bradley was a key piece in the trade involving the uber-athletic, versatile forward, Blake Griffin.
The decision to renew the former All-Defensive First Team inductee for a two year, 25 million deal (team option on year 2) furnishes the Clippers brass adaptability in the forthcoming off-season. Rumored to trail two-way superstars, Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler and others; the former Celtic will offer them stability for the approaching season. A favorite of Doc Rivers, Avery Bradley will proffer the franchise a reliable, unselfish player and a pivotal piece in the Clamp City era.
Without further ado, let’s dive into the player profile of Avery Bradley. In addition to penning down his strengths and weaknesses, I will be discussing his role with the team and projecting his season statistics in a Doc Rivers system.
