Lakers guard Avery Bradley will decline his $5MM option in order to enter unrestricted free agency, Chris Haynes of Yahoo tweets.
Bradley played a prominent role for the eventual champions prior to the restart, appearing in 49 games, including 44 starts. He averaged 8.6 PPG, 2.3 RPG and 1.3 APG. Bradley opted out of the restart and his minutes were filled by a variety of players.
Had Bradley opted in, his role would likely have diminished due to the addition of Dennis Schroder. The Lakers officially completed their trade for the high-scoring point guard with the Thunder on Wednesday.
There should be some competition for Bradley’s services. Multiple contenders are expected to court Bradley, who recently signed with a new agent.
Warriors should have interest, whether or whether not they complete a Trade with OKC for Kelly Oubre.
Oubre is better offensively bradley better defender. Either way they win, might be cheaper to just sign bradley however
Fits a contender best. But who’s giving him more than 5 mill. Makes you wonder why he’d turn down 5 mill from world champs.
Great news for Lakers if they get rid of KCP, Morris and Howard cap hold.
or KCP is willing to sign one year Vet Min
Lakers would have $15.7 million to sign Ibaka.
Why would KCP sign for the Vet Min. when he is opting out of his player option of $8,543,746?
He is looking for a $12-15 million/yr contract of 3-yrs more then likely.
Easy pass for that price. Just offer bradley 2/3 years 6 per year opt out after 1. Kcp ain’t worth that price in any way shape or form.
Got his ring while sitting at home and now he dips. I get why he opted out of playing in the bubble but you’d think he’s have something kind of loyalty to this team.
Fact!!!!!
