2. Avery Bradley

For a number of years, the Spurs kept Danny Green around for two reasons: His 3-point shooting and his defensive abilities. With his contract set to expire, looking for a more versatile player on both ends of the court may be a wise move for Greg Popovich and company.

Insert Avery Bradley.

On offense, Bradley would be the most talented shooting guard the team has had since Manu Ginobli was in his prime. Last year, his numbers were down a bit as he averaged 14.3 points and 2.5 rebounds per game, but he is just two years removed from a career season in which he averaged over 16.0 points per game. That same campaign, he also made 39.0 percent of his 3-pointers and managed to haul in 6.1 rebounds a night.

Amplifying his value, Bradley has earned NBA All-Defensive first and second team honors in his career, solidifying himself as one of the better two-way guards in the league.

Not only does Bradley give the Spurs a much needed double-digit scorer, but unlike the other options on the list, he also brings a history of playoff success with him. Though he missed out on being part of the Celtics’ iconic “Anything is Possible” title run, Bradley did briefly play alongside Garnett, Allen and Pierce. This experience was on display during Boston’s 2016-17 playoff run, when he averaged almost 17.0 points per game across three different series.

If Green opts-in, its highly unlikely the Spurs will have the cap-room or roster need to bring in Bradley. But if the long-time Spur opts-out, Bradley would make a lot of sense.
