You can't argue that he is a ballhawk one on one and disrupts the ball handler, but other than that he is worthless!

I don't see what people see in the kid that warrants so much hope. He is not a good ball handler. Not a good shooter at this point. Can't finish at the rim. (end of the first half anyone?!) He stagnates our offense. Yes he harasses the other teams PG pretty well, but really guys. He doesn't do anything else at an NBA level. He needs to ride the pine! Send him to the D League already.

I agree 1000%.  i dont think he should be getting any PT especially if Doolling is on the floor to.

It's almost like a shock when you see that....cause it's the NBA. Right?

yeah, umm.. he harasses the guy bringing the ball up the floor which makes it take longer for the other team to get into their offense.

but if you have a guy on the roster for that reason and for that reason ALONE, you've got problems.  i say give him a few more games but if he doesn't find his (an) offense, he needs to start losing mins to Moore.

Very good defender and a real liability on offense. When he is on the floor, it is 4 on 5 for the Celts on offense. And given how hard it is for this offense to score points, they cannot win giving him too many minutes. They really should package him. Maybe they could get good value back in a trade.

yeh we lost, but the more I see bradley play, the more confidence i see in him, back when he got a semi-open look, he rather pass the ball...

today I see him shoot that ball, though it was an ugly air-ball but it seems hes starting to get more confidence, maybe cuz Doc gave him the green light and more minutes recently. Its a good thing. We need this kid to not only play good D, if he can also develop a good offense, that will be great for us

With the little he's shown so far in his career, you aren't getting anything back for him.  I mean, if he was playing like this for any other team in the league, would anyone here be looking to give up anything of value for him?  You'd barely trade a late second rounder for what he's shown so far.

So, keep him around, we need the depth anyway, give him a chance to try and get his offense going.  He's no worse than Sasha, is he?  Give him a chance to develop, maybe he can carve out a role for himself more-permanently on the bench (someone said the other day, a younger Lindsay Hunter), or at least develop a LITTLE trade value.
