The second year of Avery Bradley's two-year, $25 million deal with the Clippers is only partially guaranteed, league sources say. Acts almost as a team option. If Clips decide not to guarantee Year 2, Bradley will receive a total of $14 million for one season of play.

YUGE mistake by the Lakers in not signing him, imo. #Phew

If not us, I’m happy none of our competition.

I don’t want to ever have to root against Avery.

Enjoy every cent of that $25M and lead the Clips to that 8 seed so we can have the 15th pick.

Thanks.

He had a really bad year last year. I wonder if that was a one off or if he will not be the same player he was here

He also was injured yet again.  5 of his 8 seasons playing 60 games or fewer.  It'll be interesting to see if the 2nd year is fully guaranteed.

Does this set the Marcus smart market value? Or it is just clippers making a terrible signing

Good seeing Bradley getting money. And IMO he will help the clips. They will have a competitive team next year.

Did the Clips just drive the price up themselves?
Where is he getting anything close to 25/2y in this market?

my thoughts too, same with the Favors 1yr/18m deal.
at least none of these are long term like the Spurs last year agreeing quickly to 4yr/50m with Patty Mills and overpaying Pau Gasol 3yr/48m with 40m guaranteed

Neither, although I’m curious as to whether that second year is guaranteed.  Definitely thought the Clippers would look to preserve cap room for next summer.

Doug McDermott 3-year, $22M deal is a head scratcher for me.

No way. Good shooters are pricey these days. Prime Steve Novak probably gets more than that.

I’m glad I don’t have to hate Avery. I do hate Rondo now — thoroughly hate him.

No, I don't think so. Bradley is a better shooter than Smart, which in itself warrants more money.
