Im still trying to buy into the Bradly hype. Mind you I live in Phx. so I dont see a lot of him, and havnt seen the spark that others have, but watching all of the youtube vids, I see an undersized athletic COMBO guard. I see good at times to very solid, not game changer. Factor in the fact that he is coming off IR NEXT MONTH, dosent make the warm and fuzzys come out about him. Maybe you guys should wait and see what he comes back and plays like before considering him an untradable talent, cause I dont see it.

No ones calling Bradley untradeable, but I don't think Gortat is good enough to where I would trade Bradley. His defensive impact and the chemistry he and Rondo have on the court, outweighs anything Gortat brings to the team.

He's a great defender granted, but he is undersized, doesn't give you much in assists or rebounds, and isn't a great scorer. I don't know why they're so hung up over Bradley when they also have Courtney Lee, who's a great defender himself. Probably not as good as Bradley, but that difference isn't going to stop me from wanting Gortat.

Actually I would trade for Gortat regardless of who I have at SG to replace Bradley with. Not pulling the trigger on that trade would be just stupid.

He really must be the second coming of Wade himself that you, and several other Celtics fans, feel this way. Incredible. Take the homer goggles off. No other GM in the league right now would pick Bradley over Gortat. If anything, the Suns could do much better.

Don't tell others what GMs in this league think or don't think. As if you are expert in this matter and you don't know what happened with D Howard trade. I am not saying Gortat will be traded to Boston or not but don't be so sure on anything.

Although if Gortat is available OKC should make a strong run at him. Can do everything Perkins can do and a lot more. Lamb, PJ3, Reggie Jackson is much better than anything thing that Boston could offer.

Biggest reason why Ray Allen didn't want to come back to Boston. Because he knew that they wanted him back to use him in a trade in the future. He would have signed with Boston just to end up in a place like Phoenix as a salary filler.

Ray was given a no trade clause in his huge demand of a contract. So, not true.

The only way a possible trade works for Boston is including either Lee or Bass, so it should be Bradley + Bass + maybe a pick.

Ugh really don't want to trade Bradley. Rather just trade Jeff Green but doubt they want him lol. I wish the celtics were like the lakers and teams would be willingly to bend over backwards to hand them their stars.

He's not a superstar but he played really well. Great defender and was shooting 44% from downtown and was great at cutting to the basket. But, of course we're just homers nobody wants Bradley he's a scrub amirite? :roll:

Bradley a good player but he isn't Gortat. Your talking about getting a potentially top 5 center and you don't want to give up Bradley. That is laughable. Bradley is almost identical to Tony Allen right now. Only Bradley has a better shot right now.

Honestly I'm not sure why Phoenix would be talking about trading Gortat. He has a good contract and extremely productive. If your not getting an all-star in return what would be the point. If you want to flip him for young players Bradley and Sullinger are not that special. Those type of players are available every year in the end of the first round. At there best they likely just mediocre starters. More likely they are just future solid rotation players

I wouldn't offer either Bradley or Sullinger for Gortat. Bradley is a game changer. I don't think the C's have what it takes to get Gortat unless Rondo is part of the deal. But I would offer Jeff Green for Jared Dudley and Channing Frye (or Beasley, if the Suns would prefer to include him instead of Frye).

If the Suns trade Gortat, Bradley best be coming back in a trade with the Celtics. If OKC can give up lamb, pj3, perkins and a higher pick than the celtics then maybe that package is a little better. Who knows? But I'm a big fan of Avery Bradley so I guess I wouldn't mind such a trade.

Bradley is better than Gortat, if Ainge trades Bradley to the Suns this is Joe Johnson 2.0

Who says the thunder are even interested though? It seems like they like perkins.

He's not a scrub, just a good role player, definitely not as valuable as a good 2 way 7 ft center like Gortat.
