On this day in Boston Celtics history, the Celtics re-signed guard Avery Bradley to a four-year, $32 million deal, fully guaranteed with no player or team options in 2014.
Bradley had been drafted by the Celtics with the 19th overall pick of the 2010 NBA draft out of the University of Texas and would remain with the team until the final season of that new contract. After he began its final season, he would be traded to the Detroit Pistons with draft assets in exchange for small forward Marcus Morris Sr., one of the last remaining players from the team’s last era of contention.
Bradley’s trade was necessitated by the signing of former Utah Jazz All-Star forward Gordon Hayward in the summer of 2017. He averaged 12.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game while with the team.
