Both will prove to be really good acquisitions for us. I have no doubts at all about that. |

| Like what I'm hearing so far. Bradley has a good chance of being the x-factor if he continues to deliver defensively and shoots a decent 3pt%. If he could contain guys like he used to like Steph, Kyrie and Louwill. It's over. https://twitter.com/Butterfly_424/status/1178427541150932994?s=09 |

That's what the homers were saying about players like Lance. |

The defensive play on LeBron was outstanding. |

| Bradley has a long history as a starter including 421 of the 427 games he's played over the last seven seasons, averaging 31.5 mpg. But he's had some injury issues, averaging only 61 games in that time. Personally, I would play him as a low minute starter, pulling him a little earlier in the first and third. I would also manage his games played, resting him here and there. |

He’s better start with Danny Green in the back court. Rondo or Caruso can come off the bench and play a more trad point guard when Lebron is on the bench.

I agree with him starting, but I would rather see Caruso and Cook in the back court together over Rondo. |

I agree, let him start but dont over work him in regular season. Plus we have a long rotation of serviceable guards so I think they should all play in shorter high energy bursts wearing out other team's guard depth.

Great to see these comments from Vogel. I'm looking forward to seeing this translate to game day.
There's a reason I was so happy when I found out the Celtics parted ways with Avery Bradley. If he's back to that form now, we've got a lot to look forward to. |

Bradley/Green backcourt is what’s best for the Lakers.
If Bradley comes close to regaining his Celtics form, even 90% of that  |

Yup. I'd keep him in the 22-24mpg level, 6 minute shifts. If he has it going let him finish, if not, he'll be at the 18-20mpg mark if he's not closing games.

I see no reason why if he’s healthy he can’t get closer to 26-27 mpg |

I'm operating on a 6 minute (half a quarter) assumption. He gets 18mpg and then 6 more at the end to close if he's the best.
We have TOO many PGs and they will try to play Rondo/Caruso/Cook too.

Gonna be interesting.
One is a great man to man perimeter defender. The other is a great team defender. Buy average on the versas. I look forward to it though especially if both are hitting near 40% on 3s. |

The key to them is having a rim protector, which AD/Jav/Dwight will provide.
However, only AD can switch onto guards.

I'm interested to see how the center minutes play out.
Hopefully we'll be winning and they won't be as upset if they are playing less than they want.
Side: I'm gonna miss lonzos defense. |

Zo had his moments - Elite passing and help defense. Avery is the better player in every category except for passing. You could argue that Zo is a better help defender as well...but with our current shot blockers that will be less missed. |
