Why does everyone want to trade Bradley? He is such an under appreciated player.
Why aren't there more threads about how we can re-sign the guy?
Honestly.
I think you probably know the answer, but if we draft a guard and/or sign Hayward, we are going to be pretty guard heavy. On top of that, we have the contracts of him, IT, and Smart coming up next summer at the same time. With IT as our leading scorer and Smart as our most versatile guard easily being able to play 1-3, Avery looks like the odd man out.
But I completely agree with you. Part of me hopes we don't get a big FA acquisition this summer and are able to sign AB, Kelly, and even Amir (short contract). Bradley is amazing at what he does - it would be a shame to give him up for spare parts or, worse, watch him walk for nothing.
The thread is a good one, though. While most all of us would be sad to see Avery go, a similar return that OKC got would help us deal with the pain of losing him.
