Boston trades Bradley to the Pistons for a Morris twin.
This has got to hurt the Chowder heads and by extension help the rest of the east who are in that tier. Can't think the Boston guys expected that. Of the three that were on the block thought it was Smart or Crowder who was going to have to go. Crowder is now going to start behind Hayward which will rankle him a bit and Smart in my view isn't the player that Bradley is due his poor shooting.
Bradley is a really good on ball defender and fluke or not he shot 39% from 3 last year. Smart is capable of backfilling the defense but he just doesn't shoot very well at all. He has the Micheal Carter Williams air ball stroke from 3..
As the dust settles the Chowders do get Hayward ... but to get him they have had to let go a lot of rebounding in Olynky/Amir/Zeller on a team that wasn't good at it to start with, have parted with some good to very good permiter defense which is hard to find and they look to have regressed a little on the three point line. More shots for Isiah I guess.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

And I wasn't excited about Bruno at the time of his drafting. Nobody had ever heard of him, and DX rushed to put out a page for him. Even here the general feeling at the time was "wtf?" He was considered a reach, not a steal.
After learning about him I was cautiously optimistic. I was excited during his first game, and then after that it's just been a slow drip of "hopefully this is the year".
Hopefully this is the year!

It's all paying off now, he just won a championship. Do they get rings or ribbons for that one?

But even if he doesn't, he'll be a one-and-done for the 2020 draft, which will be the draft immediately after the last year of Kyle, Serge and DeMar's contracts (when DeMar opts out, which he will). So odds aren't great.
Still, yes, unlikely.

As per his agent doesn't seem like the Grizz are interested in bringing back JaMychal Green. Apparently he has two offer sheets and two s/t scenarios on the table. Hasnt heard from the Grizz yet

Of course, now they can do it by renouncing Jonas Jerebko.
They get there...but didn't figure Bradley as the guy who would go from the starters.
The bench is going to be light on experience. Tatum may be good but it's pretty long odds a rookie contributes big minutes and has a material impact on the season.Last edited by Demographic Shift; Fri Jul 7, 2017, 05:14 PM.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.
