Our starting two-guard has missed 14 of the last 15 games. In what measure did that diminsh his trade value?
I don't mean just the physical damage on his body, that lowers it. Also the succesful recovery and the healing neccesary for him to return back on the court.
What I mean is how much do we really miss his impact?
How much have the other around the league percieved it too.
We have gone 11-4 in that stretch. Riding a hot streak now.
Winning one game in his return against Charlotte, where he went for 5 points in almost 33 minutes.
It looked like he rushed back.
I am curoius why so many minutes in a return, but rushed returns are another topic.

We know he is a starter level on both ends.
We know he is an injury prone smallish guard.
Unfortunately, he wasn't able to suit up during last playoffs.
He is playing on will, more than skill, during the most of his career. He has a positive and fighting mentalty.
He would fight on any team as hard as he can.
We also know about the 3 guard contract thing, in what is supposed to be a hot summer of 2018 for us.
Hopefuly we will be competing for the 18th title at that time.

What is our winning run telling us about Bradleys true impact and his general perception around the league regarding his trade value?
"The joy of the balling under the rims."

I don't really think it has an impact either way. He is a pretty established player at this point in his career. It is a 6 week injury at this point. Chris paul for example is not having major trade value fluctuation missing a month of time and neither is Enes Kanter for breaking his hand and missing time. If anything it shows Brown and Smart have stepped up and that Thomas has exploded to a next level player.
