With the start of the regular season still a day away, the fifteenth person on the Lakers' roster was confirmed, and they re-signed back to one of the 2020 championship-winning lineups, Avery Bradley.
It is only because Bradley is really on the list, but everyone should remember that Bradley refused to play in the rematch park and therefore missed all the playoffs and finals.
The reason Bradley gave at the time was for the safety of his family, and the Lakers and teammates accepted that reason at the time. That is, the Lakers' backcourt depth was good that year, and bradley did not end up winning the championship.
After winning the championship, Bradley deserves a championship ring, and he played in 49 games in the regular season, averaging 8.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, shooting 44.4% from the field.
But what makes people cry is that Bradley and the Lakers asked for two rings, one of which was for his wife. Such a demand cannot be said to be rare in history, but can only be said to be full of confidence.
Last offseason, Bradley chose to leave the Lakers and turned around to the Miami Heat, the Lakers' finals opponent. When it came to the Heat's first thing, Bradley was patting himself on the back: "The heat atmosphere is what I yearn for the most, and their temperament is very suitable for me." ”
Unfortunately, Bradley didn't get much playing time for the Heat, having been deprecated for a while due to injuries before being sent to the Rockets in a trade for Oladipo.
After being traded, Bradley said, "I want to stay here forever and hopefully end my career with the Rockets." I love the feeling of being back in Texas. ”
As a result, Bradley was a marginal player for the Rockets, who was naturally abandoned by the Rockets to become a free agent after the end of last season. Bradley, who was looking for a job in the offseason, again offered courtesy to the Heat, but was ignored by the Heat.
He signed a training camp contract with the Warriors, and after coming to the Warriors, Bradley said: "I have no intention of offending other teams I have played for before, but the Warriors are one of the best teams in the league from top to bottom!" ”
He was popular with the Warriors, with both Curry and Green leaning toward Bradley to stay, but the Warriors cut him in the final moments. No way, going around, Bradley was back to the Lakers.
Bradley signed a non-guaranteed contract, the kind that can be cut at any time without risk, and the Lakers have too many injuries early in the season, so signing Bradley is an emergency move.
Anyway, since you're back, you'll play well, but I'm more looking forward to bradley's assessment of the Lakers this time.
