Bradley only has $2 million of his $13 million salary guaranteed for next season, so the Grizzlies will likely waive him and let him become a free agent. Bradley's value has plummeted since his Celtics days, and unfortunately never hit free agency at the right time.

 

Teams that like Bradley will either offer him a make-good short-term deal, or try to get him at a below-market dealer for three or four seasons. Bradley will need to decide if he should bet on himself, or be conservative and take the most amount of long-term money available.

If the Grizzlies trade Conley, this could lead to them not waiving Bradley, based on the salaries brought back in the trade. If the Grizzlies can keep Bradley at $13 million and avoid the luxury tax, they may do so if waiving him would not create meaningful cap space anyway.

Potential Teams: Spurs, Wizards, Rockets, Grizzlies

Predicted Contract: 1-year, $7 million with the Spurs

*Actual Contract: 2-year, $9.8 million (2nd year player option) with the Lakers.

Despite Bradley having a very rough couple years, I think this is solid value for the Lakers. There aren't a ton of wings that could contribute and be found at the Room MLE.
