Every trade proposal I see includes Bradley.  In many cases, it seems the poster considers him the centerpiece from our end.

Newsflash:  Bradley has ZERO trade value.  In fact, I would not be surprised if he had negative trade value.

People need to just stop it.

I think he's the missing piece Utah desires to hand us Jefferson. After that happens, Stern will be so happy with the trade that he'll let the Celtics go another $14 mil over the cap.

I made the Al jefferson thread. I put Bradley as the main piece, and most people do, because he is like basically our only tradeable asset. So pretty much every trade idea proposed, and any one that goes down in real life is most likely going to have him as the or a main piece.
Why dont you show us a truly masterful trade idea wise one.

Okay.

Boston trades Sasha Pavlovic and most of Avery Bradley's minutes to the abyss for Paul Pierce and Mickael Pietrus.

Boston gives up its worst rotation player and its second worst rotation player for one of the best players in the NBA and what would seem to be a productive backup at what has been the team's weakest spot so far this year.

Oh, and we get to keep both of them in case we need them later for injuries.

Bradley would still have some value to teams because of his "potential."  the kid is still an unfinished product, and some team (like Utah) probably wouldn't mind having him.  might make more sense for them to try to develop him than giving, say, Earl Watson a bunch of minutes.

I think Bradley offensively is a dud.  Defensively he has some potential.  I don't think he holds much value unless the person we are dealing with is enamored with him.  Guys fall in love with a pick.  Does anyone recall how Danny loved Swift?

It's tradition for Celts fans to overvalue their underperforming draft picks for trade purposes.

i would say *some celts fans on CB.  there are plenty of celts fans who dont fall into this category.  its like saying the yahoos who call into sports talk shows represent an entire fan base.
