Marcus Morris: Ainge’s Rare Trade Mistake

I’m beginning to wonder if Danny Ainge finally botched a trade. Specifically, he misjudged the trade of Avery Bradley for Marcus Morris. Besides the questionable straight-up trade merits, fans often forget about the 2nd-round pick Trader Danny included in the swap. Maybe the pick won’t result in anything. Then again, maybe the draft pick becomes a star.

Cap Reasons

Now, I understand the thinking along salary cap lines. Bradley will command a large sum of money after his contract expires this year. Morris’ contract has 3 more years remaining, allowing more flexibility with upcoming contract decisions (Smart, Rozier, Brown et al).
