Who should the C's keep, if they can only keep 1? Crawford or Bradley.

I'd trade both of them, if other teams were willing to give up future assets (i.e. 1st round pick or similar value).

I like both Crawford and Bradley, but to keep them beyond this season the Celtics are going to need to invest 3+ years and better than MLE money.  That makes little sense for a team in a rebuilding phase.  Better to sell high on them.


Assuming I have to pick one, and they both cost the same, the decision is not an easy one.  It's an interesting question because one guy is a big boon to the offense, while the other is a big boon to the defense.  Each is, to some extent, a bit of a detriment on the opposite end, at least compared to the other.

In light of what I said above, I think I'd gauge the trade value of each and then keep the one who is worth less on the trade market.
