Los Angeles Clippers: 3 reasons Avery Bradley contract is an unwise move

2. Logjam in the backcourt

The Clippers have already made moves to make space for there younger backcourt players. They are expected to waive Milos Teodosic, the 33-year-old rookie point guard. They also traded Austin Rivers to the Washington Wizards for Marcin Gortat.

These moves were made to allow playing time for Gilgeous-Alexander, Robinson, and the defensive-minded Jawun Evans to a lesser extent. With that being said, it’s not clear why the Clippers would keep Bradley.

Don’t get me wrong, Bradley is an excellent two-way player. He’s a skilled 3-and-D player, shooting over 35.0 percent from 3-point range the past five seasons. He also has good hands and a high-basketball IQ, forcing turnovers and mistakes as a defender.

If the plan is to have veterans who can mentor the younger players, Patrick Beverley and Lou Williams are both already under contract and can do that. Re-signing Bradley will only result in less minutes for the younger players.
