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.
