Sooner or later being a tweener is going to expose you on some level. He is a PG sized body with a SG 's skillset. Sometimes he can compensate with his athletic ability which is immense. Other times a team like CLE can really bother him.
He is inconsistent a lot to me. Good a few games bad a few. He is what he is at this point, he has been in the league for five years. This year he has regressed slightly in PPG and FG% and a bit in 3P%.

Some of that is normal after a contract year I would assume.
hmm? yeah sounds like a guy we can get whenever.
which is why I don't get the fascination from Celtics fans. and not with just Bradley, all of these players are nice to have on a contending team. but let's get the players that will make us contenders 1st, then get these players. these players are not the ones to build around.
and I can't stand hearing "if we had this or that, then(insert current player's name) would be this n' that". first off, no kidding they'd be better. but i'm not going after Lebron so IT can be a better player, it doesn't work that way.
every one of these players is trade fodder imo. the only guy i'd be hesitant to deal is Smart and that's only because as a rookie he's playing D like a 10 yr. vet. even then if the right deal comes along I'm jumping on it.
Absolutely
I would not hesitate to move Bradley, Thomas, Olynyk, Sully,or Zeller. I wouldnt move Smart unless it gets us a Cousins type star, and Id be hesitant to move James Young only because I don't think youd get value to match his potential.
However, I also wouldnt mind keeping any of them and think each could play important roles on our next contending team.
I am of the opinion that AB could be your 5th starter, same with Sully if he gets his head right, IT4 could be your 6th man and KO and Zeller could be 3rd or 4th bigs on a championship team.
I dont think we should be rushing to push any of these guys out the door but Danny better not turn down a deal for a legit player because he doesnt want to include 1 specific 1 of them.
