Bradley is Tony Allen - like on defense, he'd boost any teams defense guarding PGs or SGs. His problem is that his offense is nonexistent. Long term, I don't think you want him as your starter, but he'd be great off the bench on an MLE type salary.
Agreed. I think the Celtics would absolutely move him for a more established player or another young player with greater potential. They did let Ray Allen go largely because of Bradley, but this season Bradley's offense fell off a cliff and hes looking more like a good role player long term than a real high impact guy. He can initiate offense more than Tony Allen and sort of act more as a combo guard, but hes really inefficient on offense and just not that good at anything. Not to mention TA is a legit 6'4, Bradley is only 6'2.
I'm willing to bet that Wessy if healthy is as decent a defender of the wings as Bradley. And Wes' O is far better.
We just need that volume scorer off the bench. I just think finding a starting center is more important.
If there is an opportunity to grab that starting caliber sg, without breaking the cap bank, than I'm all for that. I'm just worried that players like that will be the highest priced players.
Restricted. You would have to overpay for SAC not to mention. It is certainly possible to do that and get him but leaves you will very little money for Center.
I am still hoping for a S&T to get a center. If Evans signed here for 7-8mm per, that would leave around 7-8mm to sign a center with S&T JJ and you could get quite a few upgrades at center with that much money under the cap.
SG IMO should be one of the lower priorities, a C is number one and then getting quality depth is next. I got no probs with Wes at SG, if Maynor or another guy can be a solid backup PG/Combo guard Lillard can play some SG too. Lets fill more pressing needs.
Sites list him a inch higher (probably to his or his teams request). 6 foot 5 with shoes. 6 foot 4 without. Still fine for a SG really.
I wouldn't mind if he was our 6th-man. But Wes is a better starter - and definitely fits better with Nic and Damian.
As long as he doesn't resign for that amount. I'm sure he doesn't expect to get that amount this summer. Maybe work a deal right away for around 3 mil back loaded? He's actually the perfect compliment for lillard, IMO. We need confidence coming off the bench.
DE pre draft measurements have him at 6" 4" w/o shoes. Same as Matthews, but Evans has a 3 inch longer wingspan 6' 8" vs 6' 11"
