If Bradley asked for 5 mil per 4 years, would you do it? To be honest, I would wait until Bradley/Rondo play together as a sample size to determine his contract.

I think someone or any GM will be enamored with his defense, and overpay. To which I think we shouldn't try to match if its over 6 mil.

I just don't see Bradley as our back court future, but can see him being a great starting shooting guard defensively for cheap. I would say 4.5 per 4 years with extra bonuses if he can reach Defensive All Teams, and staying injury free for the entire season should be given. I understand injuries happen. Joakim Noah hustles and plays with lot of intensity, and that can lead to injuries at some point. But Bradley hasn't even been hustling or playing hard nosed defense due to Brad Steven's system, so I don't see why hes been so injured.

Honestly I'm just disappointed with how AB turned out. He hasn't even come close to my expectations. I don't care if he scores over 12 PPG, I was hoping he could improve his ball handling, and at least have better play making decisions... Every time Rondo feeds him the ball, Bradley shoots it. He doesn't wait to see what cutters or open mans are on the court.

I would love someone like Lance Stephenson, because he can shoot, drive and finish, and best of all has great basketball IQ. Yes he makes some bone headed plays, but I still love his fierce competitiveness, and how upset he was at getting snubbed.

I'd do that, I think 5 mil is good money for him. I don't think he is worth anything more than 7 mil per. As a defense specialist or coming off the bench, 5 mil is great value

No way.

That money could be spent on a much better player.

Bradley is inconsistent and injury prone

for me, the $ per year is ok for him I'm just hesitant to lock him up for 4 years when he can't stay healthy.  I still don't consider him a starting-quality player but when healthy and focussed on D, he can have a major impact off the bench creating headaches for the other team's PG.   whether that's against a tired starter or a bench PG, he can disrupt another team's offense singlehandedly.  that's a nice weapon to have -- at the right price and years.

Bradley's agent will ask for $6-$7 Million...for sure---No way I'd give him that, I think he's on his way out....Bayless for $3Mil a year makes more sense...Our biggest problem is the Center position anyway---So Tired of being undersized at the 5.

AB's style of play is what makes him so valuable.

It is also what makes him so susceptible to injury.

On D he's a fearless hound who runs through picks. That's how he separated both shoulders that year.

4 at 5 is tempting. He would be more valuable as an asset to trade at that salary.

Definitely.  $5million for 4 years would be a very good price for Bradley.

If that fourth year is team option or partially guaranteed, I do it.

Why would he ask for something worse than the offer he already rejected?

I doubt he's going to ask for a worse contract. It's more about what the market for him will bear. Will some GM will offer him the $8 million yearly salary he's reportedly after?

He's again demonstrated he can't help but miss significant time due to injuries. That offer (4 years, $24 mil) was made in late October. Bradley has missed 19 games since then.

Nope.

4 years / 12 million is what I'd offer.  I might be convinced to go as high as 16 million.
