Bradley to Jabari makes some sense. Bucks get shooting they desperately need and an infusion of defense. We get the player with a higher upside but assuming we start Smart and Jabari instead of Bradley and Amir the team is probably a bit worse.
He's not a great defender or rebounder, could improve, but he's a scorer. Not an athletic one, but a scorer. Milwaukee fans, at least, think he's a future all-star. Only 21, Ainge has tried to trade for him.
I don't think he's on the market, and there'd have to be other reasons for Milwaukee to trade him, other parts of a deal.
The potential is definitely there. Is he going to put in enough work to become a perennial all star? I don't know. If Ainge and company don't want to pay all 3 of Smart, IT and Bradley moving one of the for a front court player makes a ton of sense. Might make more sense to revisit at the draft next year when we know if we are drafting another guard or one of Jackson, Tatum, Giles.
Bradley is a good fit on Milwaukee but they'd never give us Parker for him.
I'll be honest I really think people sleep on Parker. I think he'll make a few ASG's. He was a rookie who tore his acl in mid December. He was only getting 11-5 before the ASB. But After mid Feb he avg'd 19-6-2 on 50-32-77. I think that's more Parker than the under a year removed from ACL surgery parker.
I think he's a real real good player. I think he'll be a 20ppg scorer soon enough. I think this year he goes for the 18-6.5-2. on 47-34%'s. He's not a great shooter, but if he's hitting mid 30's on his 3's, ppl will somewhat respect it & he'll continue to improve.
