If we trade Rondo, I think Bradley should go too.

We all know the strong parts to Bradley's game. I feel like his strong qualities are only beneficial to a contending team. If you are trying to rebuild, I don't think you really need a young guy who's a great defender in Bradley wasting his time, when everyone else on the team is terrible anyway.

Especially if you trade Rondo, I think the C's would most likely put Bradley at the point (I mean, right now there is nobody else). And we all know, that is not his strong suit. He wasn't that great running the offense with KG and PP... imagine how bad it would be with the guys now. His value would probably diminish, so I think it'd be best to try and get something for him now.... maybe a 2014 1st and a player in return...

Derrick Williams and the 14 for Bradley, maybe something else.

Bradley's offense evaporates when he doesn't have Rondo. We all saw it last season after Rondo went out with a torn ACL. I agree with his tremendously; if we trade Rondo, we trade Bradley as well. Bradley loses a ton of trade value without Rondo.

Yeah, I would be happy to move Bradley too if Rondo leaves.

Bradley's offensive game has been too ugly without Rondo around.

[ssspence]

Couldn't Bradley's trade value benefit from big minutes on a lottery team without much pressure? Regardless, I think he's a bit of a binkie for Ainge....

I'm fine with continuing to develop Bradley at PG if we trade Rondo.  He's not big enough to play SG.  He's one dimensional role playing PG whose only focus is defense, but thankfully teams have won titles with role playing PGs or no PG at all.  It's more important that we find a legit big and scorer to build this team around... which we'll attempt to do through the draft.  In 3-5 years we might be competitive again, and I could see Bradley being the 5th best player on a solid playoff team.

Bradley is an offensively inept defensive specialist.  He's big enough to deal with most point guards in the league... and the league is littered with quality point guards.  Would be a good move to continue developing him.  He doesn't need to be a playmaker... our playermaker will be our scorer (like Wiggins potentially)... Bradley just needs to slow down opposing point guards. 

He could be our Derrick Fisher.  Now we just need a Kobe and Shaq.

Rondo's not getting traded.

I'd like to see what Bradley can do with a full off-season and training camp.  People forget that he really only came into his own the second half of last year, then injured both his shoulders, and then had no off-season or training camp to work on his game.  At only 22 still, I'd like to see him get a little more time to develop.  He might surprise some people, much like he did when he was written off as a bust after his rookie year by man C's fans.

Was that because he didn't have Rondo--or because he was being asked to do too much that he's not particularly good at?

I don't think he'll ever be competent to run an offense, but I think he's a better shooter than we saw this spring.  Certainly he's a better player than he was during the playoffs.

If Rondos getting traded, Gerald Wallace is the player he's going to be paired with.

I have a feeling if Ainge has to deal Rondo he'll demand they take on Wallaces contract.  I think the last thing on Ainges mind is what to do with Bradley in any scenario that could come up.

Bolded for emphasis. Great point here. AB is not a natural PG like Rondo. He is not great at creating his own shot nor is he a great passer. The team wanted him to be a facilitator when he is not bred to be one
