I guess it would depend on who's on the board, but I don't think I would unless we could land a potential stud. Don't trade away a lock down defender who is developing on offense and still on a rookie contract for a few more years.

Do you think we could even get a top 15 pick for Bradley ?

Yes, but only if a higher talent (and better fit for a team with a pg) was falling an awful lot

NO...theres no guarantee that a top 15 pick would be better or even as good as bradley is currently.

theres probably as many busts in the top15 as there are productive players drafted after that. The draft is essentially a crapshoot(save some players IE durant, rose etc.)

No.  Bradley has proven that he can be a good rotation player in the NBA.  There's no guarantee that a guy chosen in the late lottery will be able to match his production.

Agreed but top 5/6-10/11-15 player not pick.

All depends on your grade on who is still on the board. Getting a guy who's talented but slipping like evans did or other players would be worth it.

I just think that in the draft there are very few "certainties" for players developing at the NBA level...especially after the first 5picks until guys get playing time on the court you never "really" know.

we do Know that Bradley can average Double digits in offense starting at SG and is one of the best defensive guards in the league.

we dont know if a prospect in the top 15rounds can do that..they may surpass bradley..but they may end up being a bust.

That's kinda what I meant.

My top 5 players are Davis, Robinson, Kidd-Gilchrist, Beal, Barnes. I would probably trade him any one of them and Drummond. Other than that I keep him.

bradley is still very young and at this point he is better than any pick we will get in return for him. i just hope we dont draft another 2 guard. plenty of talent out there to get a solid young talent at a position we need like a 4 or 5.

Huge gamble. Even at that top 5, there is still a chance that the pick will become a bust (see bowie, kwame and olowokandi) and worst, another Len Bias.

I believe AB is 21. He's basically the same age as a lot of the guys in this draft with "upside." What I'm basically saying is that he will only continue to get better and, as others have pointed out, has proved that he can be a good rotation player in the league AT THE VERY LEAST.

I couldn't vote because there wasn't a maybe choice.  If there's a big there who Danny thinks is worth a shot . . . then, maybe . . .

I'd shoot a little higher than 15, though.

If we could land Terrence Ross I'd do it.

He's not a good defender as Avery is, but Ross is going to be a solid SG. Needs to work on defense but has the tools to do so. Way better shooter and has the same athleticism as Avery posses, maybe even more.

So yeah, just to land Ross is say its worth it.

No.  Bradley has proven that he can be a good rotation player in the NBA.  There's no guarantee that a guy chosen in the late lottery will be able to match his production.

This, more or less.  Bradley has proven that he belongs on an NBA court.  No player coming out of the draft can say the same thing.

Within reason, of course.  If we can trade Bradley for a top five or something, then you have to do it, but I'd imagine that trading that kind of pick away for Bradley would get a GM fired.

As mentioned before, Terrence Ross will likely be a great shooting guard. He is ridiculously athletic too. Although he seems to be reluctant to take over a game, he has been crazy clutch and played great in the 2nd half of games. His ability to jump out of the gym is why his rebound stats are so good. He needs work on d and wonder about his reluctance to take over, but otherwise think he is just what we need to back up Avery, Rondo and Paul once Ray is gone. We can probably get him at 12 to 15. No way I trade Avery at all, as we can't get a top 5 for him. I seem to be Avery's biggest Bull but if we have no idea how high is up with avery imho
