Avery Bradley

I was on record wanting Dallas to chase Bradley on the trade market, but instead, he found himself heading to Detroit for Marcus Morris.

Bradley heads to Detroit as the Caldwell-Pope replacement but gives the Pistons an interesting situation this coming summer with him hitting unrestricted free agency. Looking to get a deal netting him around $20 million a year, the market will be interesting for him in a suddenly tight market.

Despite his injury woes, Bradley is still just 26 years old and arguably the best point guard defender in the game. I would assume Detroit made the trade in preparation of paying him in the summer.

If Dallas and Wesley Matthews part ways before next summer, Bradley would be a great fit alongside of Dennis Smith Jr..
