This is an interesting spot to be in.
Avery Bradley came to the Clippers as part of the mid-season Blake Griffin trade. He’s always been a nice NBA player (sometimes quite good!), but there wasn’t really much question as to why he was included in January’s deal: he hadn’t performed for the Pistons, and his expiring contract was the most convenient way to bridge (part of) the gap between Tobias Harris’ salary and Blake Griffin’s much larger maximum contract.
After an underwhelming first half of the season for the Pistons, where he spent a good portion of the time playing hurt, Bradley played just six games as a Clipper before being shut down for the season with surgery for a sports hernia.
