Avery Bradley – Miami Heat

The Miami Heat are reportedly interested in trading for Spencer Dinwiddie and in doing so, could be willing to give up Avery Bradley to the Brooklyn Nets. Avery Bradley has only played in 10 games this season with the Heat due to various injuries and health concerns, but he is still viewed as an elite perimeter defender and a veteran guard that can easily contribute to a championship-caliber team.

Defense seems like the only weak point of the Brooklyn Nets, which is exactly why they should be interested in adding an elite-level perimeter defender like Avery Bradley. The veteran guard is now in his 11th season in the league and is an excellent “3-and-D” option for the Nets to add to their championship-caliber roster. 

The Nets do not need to add another high-level scorer since they have Durant, Irving and Harden, which is exactly why Avery Bradley should be on their target list. He is a proven champion with the Lakers last season and is a 2x All-Defensive player, which is why he could have an impact with the Nets.
