In the NBA offseason, the most active is the player trading market, we can see the names of players from the media, many people get the contract of their choice, earn a lot of money, good scenery. Of course, there are many frustrated people, so long after, some of the most powerful players are still in the market without a team to ask, including Avery Bradley, is it not a while since I heard this person's name? Today, let's talk about his current situation.
Avery Bradley (born November 26, 1990 in Tacoma, Washington) is a 1.90-meter tall and 81.6kg defender who plays as a point guard. Since Bradley entered the NBA through the draft in 2010, his career has been constantly going from team to team, playing 11 seasons, playing for as many as 7 teams, with an average of 1 and a half years to change teams, as a role player, the number of transactions is not unusual. His most well-known experience with the majority of fans is his brief time in the 2019-2020 season for the Lakers. With the Halo Bonus of the Lakers' giants, Bradley is also a small fire.
Bradley has always been known for being able to defend, can shoot three-pointers, and is not yet 31 years old this year, it is reasonable to say that such a still effective outside defender, will be the need of many teams, but the reality is that he was sent to the Rockets by the Heat in March this year, and the Rockets chose not to implement the team option, which means that Bradley can only find his own job, and there is still no way to get home.
More than a year ago, Bradley was the Lakers' starting point guard, but just over a year later, Bradley Athletic's form declined seriously. After joining the Heat, Bradley only played 10 games for the team, and his shooting percentage dropped sharply, averaging only 6.4 points per game; after being traded to the Rockets, Bradley was still in a slump, playing only 17 games, shooting 31% from the field, and falling to 27% for three points.
Although Bradley is not worth playing in the Rockets, with his skills, signing a veteran base salary should be no problem. However, he is not a good person to communicate with, and he is not very particular about his personality, so it can be said that he has lost his character. Many team management are more cautious about him, under the same conditions, must choose others. As we all know, the season when the Lakers won the championship, Bradley refused to play in the playoffs for the Lakers, on the grounds that he had to accompany his family and live longer than basketball. Although the Lakers management expressed understanding, everyone knew in their hearts that Bradley did not believe that the Lakers could win the championship.
Before the Lakers won the championship, let's see what Bradley said, he said: "I don't think it matters, a championship ring, doesn't make me feel like a very successful person." "Put on a look of indifference to fame and fortune." Later, the Lakers really won the championship, and then look at Bradley's statement at this time, he said: "I have asked the Lakers for two championship rings, in addition to myself, I also asked my wife for a ring." I'm a part of that championship team. "Just ask everyone in this room if you feel very embarrassed?"
After the Lakers sent Gasol away, the team lineup has 13 people and is still struggling to find an outside defender. Bradley is said to have been on the Lakers' review list, but with the addition of Players such as Munch, Bazemore, and Anthony, he and the Lakers are difficult to continue the frontier. I wonder if Bradley will feel the slightest remorse for abandoning his teammates' selfish approach? Friends are welcome to leave comments and let's talk.
