I dont think hes a guy you have to trade, nor necessarily upgrade. However, his skill-set, age, and contract make him a very attractive piece to teams who feel they are close to contention.
In this way AB has more value to teams who feel they have completed their youth movement/talent farming mission.
Because of this AB is mentioned in potential trades because he makes a lot of sense for teams who are looking to make the jump rather than roll the dice again in the draft.
For us adding a 10-14 pick without sacrificing 16 gives us a lot more trade power and flexibility.
Now we are a G wallace dump away from 2 max contracts and we have the trade ammo to either move into the top 10 or to move a mid first for an established player like Taj Gibson or Kenneth Faried (pulled directly from my ass) and still be able to take a shot on a high potential guy like Oubre or Turner.
I dont think its out of the realm of possiblity that Bradley cant grow to be more effective than Danny Green, JR Smith, or Kyle Korver. 3 guys who started on championship contenders.
