No one anticipated Avery Bradley would have a second stop in Los Angeles when the team opened training camp in September. Circumstances in the form of injuries for the Lakers and Bradley being waived by the Warriors led to the guard returning to Los Angeles to don the purple and gold for the second time in three years.
Predictably, and perhaps rightfully to a degree, Bradley became a beacon of criticism directed at both himself and head coach Frank Vogel. Among the warranted criticisms of Vogel, an inexplicable preference toward Bradley was one of the most candid and obvious.
