I like the kid, and this being his second year - and Doc going by pecking order - he is getting his chance....but watching other teams rooks being better than our second year guy makes me jealous.

...and the sad part is that we've got our own rook - EMoore - whom I think is more ready than ABradley.  Ouch!!!

I wish Doc would do AB a favor and send him to Maine to play 30 minutes a game for two months.  I think that'd do better for him and get him better prepped for possible late-season minutes better than slapping him in over his head a few minutes a game up here.  Surely the present situation can't be helping his value for any possible trade.

His greatest value is on the bench.  Pushing our guys with his defense during practice.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

At this point, I don't think the trade value of Bradley is relevant.  His value is basically non-existent, so it is not going to be hurt at all by playing him more...but it also is not going to be helped at all unless he plays significantly better.

I think Doc needs to be doing what is best for the team on the floor, completely ignoring trade implications.  I think Moore will ultimately take over, but if he is not ready yet, fine, let Bradley keep the spot warm while he learns the system...and who knows, maybe he will surprise us (I doubt it).

Norris Cole put Danny Ainge, Avery Bradley, and C's to shame last night. He ended up being the difference in his second NBA game. Bradly has yet to earn any value.

Dropping like flies.

We'd be lucky to obtain a second round pick for him.

My take on Bradley.

I have faith he can be a TA in the making. His defense, which finally got a chance in games, is more than advertised by Doc. He really isn't a PG as we are finding out, but in todays game, how many true pg's are out there? He is a combo guard which allows him to guard either guard spot. He doesn't need to go out and shoot like ray or facilitate like rondo in a game to improve.

With Dooling here, we have even less need for him to be a ball handler, instead use him as a stopper for guards. Have doc get on him about slashing and getting to the line. We dont need him shooting 3's or long two's to be effective.
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

Good value in practice. No game time value at the moment.
