Celtics dealing Avery Bradley to Pistons

The Boston Celtics are finalizing a trade that will send guard Avery Bradley to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for forward Marcus Morris, according to The Vertical's Shams Charania.

What It Means:

In the deal, the Pistons will also receive Boston's 2019 second-round pick. The move will clear up enough cap space for the Celtics to sign free agent Gordon Hayward to a maximum four-year, $132 million deal.

Bradley's -1.4 nERD ranked 12th on the Celtics team in 2016-17 and was not up to par with his -0.7 nERD in the year prior.
