I voted Jeff.

Bradley's is injury prone, not only because he is somewhat fragile, but because of his style of play. His fighting through picks is what got both shoulders separated a couple of years ago.

Kind of sad that his fearlessness hurts him physically so much and hence his long-term value. I really like the kid.

I say we keep both and make Bradley our 6th man. He seems to want to be a volume type shooter, and with Green and Sully needing touches Bradley would make a good 6th man. I like the big lineup with Wallace starting, as he gives us good defense like Bradley. Insert KO to the starting lineup and we don't need to make any moves at the deadline, but just might play ourselves out of a good draft pick.

Neither

  • Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism
For as much flack as Green gets on this blog, it's interesting to see the overwhelming majority choose him over Bradley when put on the spot.

I agree with what others have said - all-around player, solid defense, can take over a game, great 3-4th best player. I would love to keep Avery at 5-6 mill a year - similar to Lee or Terry, but it appears we will be forced to choose before we acquire a legit center and star sg. Would it be possible to take it all the way to free agency after next year, sign the players we need, and then use the mle for Avery?

I hate to lose him for nothing and a trade for Eric Gordon [for instance] seems underwhelming, especially considering the contract situation. Who is that all-out upgrade we are going to get at sg, though? It already seems pretty obvious that there are no viable upgrades over Green unless Parker or Wiggins fall into our laps.

I vote keep Green. Jeff Green is just here at the wrong time, I think. If we weren't trying to get a good draft pick, or if we already had our young core set, I would absolutely want to keep Green. Inconsistency is a role players hallmark. So for all his lows and snooze performances, Green has dizzying highs as well. He can probably single handedly win you one playoff game per series.

As a fan, I'd keep Bradley as I love watching tenacious defense from the guard position.
