Yeah, while I would not dump Bradley for the sake of it, I would definitely be open to Frank trying to start Cook or Daniels to see how it goes around a lineup of McGee-AD-Lebron-Green. Similar to KCP where the shooting and offense KCP brought helped them, you may some improved play from that lineup.

On the other hand, I would keep Bradley as a playoff option, you could throw at elite star backcourt players. What Bradley brings from that perspective is very valuable.

I love Bradley's defensive intensity. However, offensively, he has had some real good looks and has failed to knockdown anything on a consistent basis. His long-ball is practically non-existent.

If AB starts, KCP should relieve him early in the 1st quarter. AB is still valuable, particularly on defense, and should be used accordingly. His defense will be much needed especially in the play-offs.

I wonder what his mid-range percentage is at. He seems really consistent from that range

I love Bradley's intensity on defense and his ability to create a shot in the mid-range - but unless he starts to hit threes at a more consistent rate, he's going to be a liability come playoffs. It's why guys like Caruso, KCP, Green will be so important, they fit the type of offense we're running very well and are very capable defenders

I'm still open to moving him in the right deal, particularly if we're getting a guy that's more capable of guarding larger wings back (or as salary filler in a Rose-type deal)

He provides literally nothing on offense. Ideally he would only be used in certain situations against elite guards for defensive purposes

We should use some formula to combine AB and KCP into one person?

He got this!

He looked extremely confident

I feel like they had a players meeting.. they all looked different
Being there at Staples.. you could see the eyes that were still crying in private and trying not to in public.. Quinn couldn't hold his back others neither

Talking to my budtender tonight who has a friend in LA.. "The whole place is sad and hurting" her friend told her

The Lakers are a very deadly team when AB plays at this level

Props to Bradley. I think he has put together a few strings of good games offensively including hitting his 3s

It's a different team when Bradley or Green have a 20 point game.

We need them both to be more consistent.

He's been on fire from three in the past 6 games he's shot 18/30 from three (60%).

He has been getting steadily better after his injury. He is going to be another KCP in terms of resurrecting his season.

When AB consistently plays at or near this level offensively we have more balance and continuity. His defense and effort have always been outstanding. IMO D. Collison would be a nice piece to have alongside Bradley.

LG wrong about kcp
LG wrong about Bradley
My gut is Green is next on the list

We are lucky to have all three unless you're a spoiled fan that thinks we deserve all the best players.

AB has performed well in his role and he becomes a steal of a signing if his shooting continues through the rest of the season and playoffs.

Hope he can keep up the good shooting. If he, KCP, and Green can shoot at a high clip...it’ll give Lebron and AD much needed space to attack the rim

Okay bradley my apologies.


Those long 2s are becoming 3pters... welcome to the new NBA and thank you for adjusting. Now, I need you to attack the paint a little more which you have been doing. Great work man.


almost 7 3pt attempts per game over his last 5 games.

Of Kuzma had 1/2 the grit Bradley has, he would be a much better player. Kuz is very lackadaisical on the floor.
