Avery Bradley – Previous Team: Houston Rockets
Teams are always looking to add veteran guards who can get their job done on both ends of the court and that is exactly the kind of player Avery Bradley has been his entire career. The 30-year-old combo-guard is a former 2x All-Defensive player and he recently won a championship with the Lakers in 2020.
Last season, Bradley started the year with the Heat before being traded at the NBA trade deadline to the Houston Rockets for Victor Oladipo. At 30-years-old, Avery Bradley can still be a factor as a combo-guard for virtually any team in this league, especially since he plays with that “3-and-D” mentality.
A 36.3% shooter from deep, Avery Bradley will definitely get his chance on a contending team and should definitely be a minimum contract target, but at this point, his options are limited.
Prior to declining his player option this offseason, there were said to be multiple contending teams interested in Avery Bradley, but pretty much all of the league’s contending teams have filled out their roster.

Some teams do have the capability to free up another roster spot like the Golden State Warriors, but the Lakers, Heat, Bulls, and Trail Blazers are just a few of the teams that still have an open roster spot and could look to utilize Avery Bradley in their backcourt.
