Avery Bradley

The Golden State Warriors already teased an Avery Bradley signing last season — could they do it for real this time?

Pros

In his heyday, Bradley was the prototypical 3-and-D guard. He was a two-time All-Defensive team member and eventually, sprouted into someone who could shoot and create shots for others.

Last season was far from his best but Bradley still managed to put together 6.4 points per game on 39% shooting from the 3-point line. Notably, he appeared in 62 games — a sign that he has overcome some of his injury concerns.

Cons

The ship may have sailed on Bradley being an effective two-way player. He’s only gotten older since the last time he failed in a Warriors’ uniform, it’s unlikely he will be much better the second time around.

Nonetheless, options are slim. The Dubs might have to just take a chance on the veteran guard.
