Reports: Celtics trade Avery Bradley

Share

Avery Bradley's time with the Celtics is reportedly over.

Boston is trading Bradley and a 2019 second-round pick to the Pistons, according to multiple reports.

In exchange, Detroit will ship Marcus Morris to the Celtics.

Bradley, drafted 19th overall by Boston in 2010, averaged career highs in points (16.3) and rebounds (6.1) last season in 55 games.

He shot over 46 percent from the field and 39 percent from deep.

Bradley will make about $8.8 million next season and then become an unrestricted free agent.

Morris started 79 games for the Pistons last year and averaged 14.0 points and 4.6 rebounds per contest, while shooting 33 percent from 3-point territory.

He is under contract for two more years -- $5 million in 2017-18 and about $5.4 million in 2018-19.

The Celtics needed to shed some salary to create max space for Gordon Hayward.
