Avery Bradley unhappy with contract...

[Neurotic Guy]

It's speculation by Washburn that the chnage in agents reflects that he is "apparently" unhappy.  There could be many reasons for the change in agents.  Of course anyone who is not getting paid commensurate with comparatively skilled players is going to be less than thrilled, but Bradley hasn't shown any evidence that this is a big problem.

I really doubt Bradley is unhappy with his contract....He's gotta realize the C's stuck with him through his horrible first 2 years in the league--and all of his injuries...Plus, Danny overpaid at the time...Avery seems like a top notch guy...maybe his agent can't/won't get him endorsement deals--?

This isn't really news. I'm sure IT, Crowder, and AB all hate their deals at this point but these are the contracts they bargained for and they're stuck with them for the duration.

Bradley's only got two years until his next deal anyway.

Idc I'd honestly be happy if we traded him as long as we got a decent SG in return. Hes my least favorite celtic on the team. He always chokes in crunch time, he struggles to guard bigger 2's, he cannot pass at all, and I'm pretty sure Nerlens Noel can handle the ball better than him. He's also complaining about his contract when Crowder is playing 2x better than him(except for last 2 games) and is making less than him.

Given his injury history and the fact he wasn't performing like this when he signed it, he shouldn't complain too much.

If he played like Khris Middleton then he'd get paid like him.

Wrong thread.

Steph Curry is not either. AB work hard and you will get a really big one soon. He is not a crybaby to me. Go Danny.

LOL at the waiting for any reason to jump down AB's throat. All that venom when AB works hard and is one of the professional players even at his young age. Doesn't jump around whining and complaining, just does his job. No one ever has a bad word to say about the guy (except for Celts fans), I'm not talking about game critique, some of this is just plain ridiculous. He never bad talks anyone either and he is very accountable for his own play. Sad.

Part one-Avery played with and through shoulder injuries where others would have taken their pay check and sat
Part two- Bradley even with the work he's put in is not a starter on a quality team.  He's a three and d

This has nothing to do with the Celtics. It has everything to do with his agent not anticipating the salary spike.

Sorry if already posted, and bc during Pats game. But G.Washburn, in his Blatt post, had a tidbit about Averys contract:

Avery Bradley has changed agents from Mitchell Butler of the Rival Sports Group to Rob Pelinka, who also represents Kobe Bryant. Butler was able to procure the oft-injured Bradley a four-year, $32 million contract extension last summer, considered an above-market deal. Now Bradley is apparently unhappy with his contract, especially after seeing players such as Milwaukee’s Khris Middleton (five years, $70 million), Utah’s Gordon Hayward (four years, $61 million), and Cleveland’s Tristan Thompson (five years, $82 million) cash in with lucrative extensions, making Bradley’s deal appear to be a bargain with the new television money increasing the salary cap this summer.

And where did Washburn get this "apparently unhappy" nonsense...because he switched agents?

Players do this all the time.  Washburn is a terrible reporter.

[SHAQATTACK]

Why would AB even bring this up ?

His deal is done......he needs to prove he is worth more by continuing to play well,   He had a huge history of injury ...yet he got a great deal based on his history.

How unappreciative .....when as sorry and hurt as he was for years , but DA kept believing .


What good does that do.....

How unprofessional is that

Does he want to be traded?

[Tr1boy]

He can be unhappy all he wants. That is the way the business is

I've learned not to doubt Washburn honestly. A lot of what happened during the Big 3 era, that we dismissed, came to be true in the end. But yeah, pure speculation on this one apparently.

yes. Then his contract ripped up and a new one created.  5 year 100 million dollar deal
