Bradley and Crawford are from the same draft class and should have the same contract status with regards to options and restricted free agency.

I thought I lost my mind for a second.

AB's option is in 13/14 (picked up).
JCraw's option is in 14/15 (but is declined).

Sigh.

Both Bradley and Crawford were drafted in 2010 and signed to rookie scale contracts that consisted of two guaranteed years plus two option years.  Both players had their options exercised for both option years.  Both players had to have had their option for 2013-2014 exercised by October 31, 2012, before their third year.  Both players will be restricted free agents after this season if the Celtics offer a qualifying offer.

Also, both players are occasionally reported about by media idiots who don't understand how the salary cap works.

It could be worse for them, they could've gotten the Marquis Teague/Cheapskate franchise treatment.

Dang I'm an idiot then.

Not of the media variety, though.

Reportedly AB wants 8 mil a year. He turned down a 4 yr 24 mil contract offer before the season started.
