Lakers sign:
Lakers sign Avery Bradley after Warriors cut him against wishes of Steph Curry, Draymond Green. … Now Bradley is back with the Lakers, which is not only the team he spent the pandemic-stricken 2019-20 season with, but also the team that the Warriors play in their season opener on Tuesday.
Bradley, 28, has bounced around the NBA a bit since having a career year with the Boston Celtics in the 2016-17 season (16.3 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 1.2 SPG, 39 percent from three).
He played for both the Detroit Pistons and Los Angeles Clippers in the 2017-18 campaign, appearing in just 46 games, though he did average 15 points per game in his stint with the Pistons. He then played for the Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies last season, averaging 16.1 points in 14 games with the Grizzlies.
Age:
“He’s been one of the best on-ball defenders in the league,” Kerr said shortly before Avery made his comment. “Great off-ball cutter, a good three-point shooter, a very very good NBA player.”
