    Not to mention, he can finish well around the rim unless he's challenged by a big. He's making smart plays and within his role. He should continue to start.

    Absolutely. He’s a starter for this team. One of my favorite players so far. I love guys that work hard. And he works hard every single game.

    After Dwight, Bradley is easily our 2nd best pickup in free agency. It's a shame other teams literally gave up on this guy. If LeBron isn't handling the ball, I like what I see from Avery Bradley. He doesn't ballhog, creates for our bigs, and his off the screen pullup jumpers are money the past few games. I am just salivating at both Bradley+Iguodala being in our second lineup.

    Bradley
    Iguodala
    Kuzma
    Dwight
    Caruso/Cook/Daniels

    That looks pretty good to me.

    Personally I'd say Danny Green was our best pickup followed by Bradley and then Dwight, but that's just my opinion. Bradley has become my current favorite Laker though.

    Iggy would be an amazing addition.

    Avery Bradley is such a huge pickup for us, just huge. The 1 2 defensive punch of AB and Ludabrow is terrifying to our opposition. Seeing our defense at our peak is mesmerizing. I love watching our defense when it's clicking on a high level. And to think he once was a ******.

    For the price, I like what we did with Dwight and Bradley. We could have easily overpaid for lesser production. Danny Green, for what he's getting paid, I don't see that as much of a great pickup as much as the dollars making sense. Dwight and Bradley have become exactly what we needed for a price we shouldn't have been able to get them for.

    Nonsense. We were told Bradley was done and definitely could not handle the ball well enough or shoot well enough or get into the paint (point guardy type things :D ) to be in the 1 slot as a starter. Repeatedly. We should believe you now?

    Understood, if you are talking value, no doubt. Dwight was beyond a steal and so was AB. Danny Green was market price level, but wow, what a perfect complementary player he is for AD and Lebron and this team.

    However we want to look at it I think all three are excellent signings and we have done quite a good job filling in the roster after Kawhi came off the table. I like everyone on the team except KCP. I don't love Rondo but I was wrong about him being redundant. He is good for his role if he can keep healthy, that is: playmaker when Lebron is out. And he was a bargain contract as well.

    What I like most about Bradley is that he is NOT a one trick pony.

    He plays defense, can get to the rim, can shoot (even though so far struggled from 3), can hit mid-range shots, makes good decisions...

    Excellent role player. He is basically the Anti-KCP.

    So in other words the one thing about him you like most is everything? ;)

    As many others, I also love to have him on the team. Didn’t know what to expect at all and boy has he delivered. Keep it up!

    Just going off that info alone, it looks like it could be 6-8 weeks with proper treatment/recovery.

    Btw rapid weight loss and diet changes does affect bone resorption/integrity.

    Good news... We have an easy schedule ahead.
    Bad news... Avery Bradley was becoming our fifth most important player.

    Classic Bradley: just when things look good he goes down with injury. Some guys are just cursed. He's been actually been playing better than Green and been overall the best guard on this squad

    Oh well with Rondo back not a bad time to get these injuries out of the way. Plus it's not a ligament or tendon so this shouldn't impact his athletic ability once he returns
