Hopefully, Bradley will be allowed to the play the point guard position.

The D-League has an ugly history of not playing tweener guards at the point and instead using them as two guards ... prioritizing wins over player development.

If Bradley isn't the starting PG and playing 30 minutes a night, Danny should bring him back immediately.

If he is, then that is fantastic and it should help Bradley's development.

I think Bradley should start off as a shooting guard and then shift him over to getting point guard minutes once he shows that he has regained his confidence.

hed be alryt starting at sg if thats where hes comfortable and move him later to pg once his shots falling. in the cs 2nd team west or quis would have the ball more anyway. should concentrate on gettin confidence in his shot,good defence (hes awesome already IMO) and let the rest come to him. i cant wait to see him in the cs rotations when/if he makes it.

Nah, I think he should focus on playing basketball.

He can have fun like that in the off-season.

Somehow I think Danny has a pretty good relationship with the coach of the Claws.

Learn something new everyday...
So when we assign someone to the D-League, we just have 14 active players? I thought we could call up players from that league and prorate their salaries. Maybe that's baseball. And maybe I'm just gravely misinformed.  :'(

 There is no injured reserve list, which was removed because of the many obvious sham injuries and replaced with a general inactive roster.

You also avoid situations where players refuse to be placed on the injured list with a sham injury.  AKA the Joseph Forte rule  ;D

Good news.  He has already shown the defense and the offense has looked good at times.  He just hasn't looked that comfortable on that end of the floor, so I hope he works that out on the D-League roster.

Good timing. Doc does not need him at the point and as a SG he is taking minutes from Wafer. With Allstar break is a good chance for him to get some games in.

I like this move because of his lack of playing time during the summer and I like this kid. He has the defense of Tony Allen but on the upside could develop a decent and consistent jumper.

Good luck Avery... I hope you light up the d-league and show that you deserve to be on the Celtics.
