My ideal scenario would be to draft Fultz or Ball. That leaves Bradley as the odd man out in the backcourt in my opinion since Smart compliments Everyone better.

There are teams in the 8-12 range who could be looking to make a playoff push next year who would value Bradley more than a rookie (MIN, NYK, DAL, SAC, NOP)

The main target if a trade like that were to happen would be Lauri Markkanen. Lethal 3 point shooter who would be instrumental in pulling bigs out of the paint so IT4 can do his thing (more so than Olynyk)

Let's say Sacramento gets the 9th pick and they want Bradley. Is that a fair trade for both sides?

Love AB but just wondering if he could fetch us some assets in a loaded draft

Probably that 8-12 range you ID, but hes an expiring so perhaps not.

Also, Id rather get vet help for AB than another pick.

I agree, but who could we get that would be better than AB, without giving up other significant assets? Like other than Jimmy Butler, there aren't many options better than AB. And to get JB we would have to gut our future.

I would prefer picks a few years down the road if making such a trade.  In order to have max free agent room, assuming we get a top two pick, we're going to be about Avery Bradley's salary away (if we get #3 or #4, letting Olynyk walk would likely be sufficient).  Getting another pick in this draft means salary obligations that again limit our max free agent potential.  Furthermore, we already look to be bringing on 3-4 rookie next season (Nets pick, Zizic, and one or both of Yab and Nader).  There are only so many minutes to give to rookies while trying to be a contending-level team.

So picks in 2020 or 2021 are the way to go.

I would trade AB for whatever pick it takes to get Harry Giles. It usually takes athletes a while to come back from ACL, and I think his upside is still intact.

Zero interest in moving Bradley for a pick.

We do not need more draft picks.

In the hypothetical world where we draft Fultz and extend Marcus Smart and plan to max Isaiah Thomas I could be talked into AB for either Aaron Gordon or Dario Saric.

Id like to move him for a PF who can defend multiple positions. Preferably a younger guy.

You don't trade a player as good as Bradley for a pick.  Not in our current situation. If you trade him (it's for a current player who is an improvement and it's because you're not resigning him after next year).  We don't need picks with this roster.

I do like the idea of adding Saric. He would be an excellent addition to Brad Stevens system. A Bradley-Saric swap makes sense for both clubs I think. AB is exactly the kind of positive veteran influence on a young developing team. Saric, while young, has tons of expereince playing pro ball overseas and being part of a winning team.

Fultz, Smart, Saric, Brown, Zizic, and Olynyk are all guys who are young but who are smart and know how to play the game of basketball. Excellent for cultivating a championship team. Surround them with veteran leadership in IT, Horford, and Jae and we are in excellent shape.

I would trade AB for either of them, but I doubt either team would give up the young player for one year of AB. 

AB is good, but is so injury proned and we have been playing so well without him.  I say AB and filler for Melo, getting Melo for AB is great value as he would become our second scoring option which we need for the playoffs plus we keep our Brooklyn picks.  We would be consistently good for the next dozen years and DA isn't afraid of unloading veterans for picks.  I think he's copying the Pats model. 
2019 historical draft.  Pick 12

Tim Duncan, Oscar Robertson, Elgin Baylor, Scottie Pippen, Willis Reed, Mitch Richmond, Sam Jones, Dan Majerle, Bob Cousy, Rasheed Wallace, Shawn Kemp, Marcus Camby

If we are to trade Bradley, it would be something like Henderson for Bias or Maxwell for Walton type of trade. So yeah, we can expect a lottery pick from Bradley if let's say traded him for teams that are desperate for a playoff push.

Absolutely agree. Move Bradley, Brooklyn 17, Rozier, Zeller, and Memphis pick for Butler. We need veteran stars not mid first round draft picks, especially given we might be bringing in 2-3 rookies from last year's draft.

Given he is hurt all the time and how good this draft is presumed to be I'm not real sure Boston could even get a late lottery pick for Bradley
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

Why another pick? come on, Bradley is worth far more to the Celtics than a draft pick
