The Los Angeles Lakers will be playing without their best defensive guard in the NBA restart. Lakers’ Avery Bradley has decided to not to play in the NBA restart to remain with his family. Bradley’s son has a struggling respiratory system that makes it difficult for him to recover if his son was to get the corona virus.
Bradley was averaging around 8.6 PPG and about a steal a game. Bradley was always guarding the best guard on every team, each night. The Los Angeles Lakers are standing at the top of the Western Conference standings, revamping the city of Los Angeles again. But with the Lakers losing a starter in Avery Bradley, the quest for an NBA championship just became a little tougher.
My Thoughts
Losing Avery Bradley will definitely hurt the Lakers chances of winning an NBA Championship. Bradley might not be the same guy like he was in Boston, but he is still a key member to any NBA team.
But I fully understand why he is sitting out the NBA restart. Your family is important and if you don’t want to take the risk and possibly catch the corona virus that could affect your family, then I respect his decision without a doubt.
You can now expect the Lakers to sign a guard, and there has been rumors around that they are looking to sign J.R. Smith. Smith has not played since 2018 when he played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he could bring an impact to the Lakers.
Smith has made some dumb decisions when he has played the game. But Smith is a great outside shoot and can be able to knock down an open shot. He doesn’t have the defensive impact like Avery Bradley, but Smith is a very talented player and has lots of playoff experience.
