Avery Bradley Re-Signs With Boston

[bosoxlover12]

The deal is reportedly $32M/4. He declined $24/4 earlier in the season, so it looks like we upped our ante a bit.


A very crowded backcourt in Boston right now.

Rondo, Bradley, Smart, Young, and Pressey all under roster

 

[Pugz]

still not huge on him but if they wanted to keep him then they did the right thing.

bosox, dont watch many Celtics games, does he fit more of a PG role or SG role for the celtics with Rondo?

 

[buzzy]

SG. Dude can't pass for shit.

 

[RipCity32]

Well makes the Meeks contract look a bit better Market is high

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Little bit of an overpay, but who isn't? CJ Miles just got 4.5M...

Someone just as good as Miles will get like 2M annually two weeks from now.

 

[buzzy]

If everybody is overpayed, is anybody really overpayed?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Well what's the percentage of free agents this offseason to guys already under contract?

 

[buzzy]

nine thousand percent.

 

[elcheato]

Salary cap is gonna go up 5 million. Will make this seasons overpays look more a wee bit more reasonable

 

[bosoxlover12]

SG. Dude can't pass for shit.

He shot impressively well for himself this year, though. Solid 14+PPG scorer now

I think the Celtics feel like they got a bargain.  I know I would.  You have a guy who is 14.9 ppg, he has a pretty average FG% give or take, he has a good 3PT% on over 3 attempts per game, and a low turnover number.
 
But he's one of the best on ball defenders in the league.  Top five for sure.
 
So if you try to analyze what the player gives you on offensive versus what he saves you on defense, the Bradley signing may start to look like a much better idea.
 
We need better analytics in basketball.  There aren't really conclusive +/- ratings for player on individual assignments.  Ten years from now, players like Bradley are worth this contract for sure and maybe more.
