After being part of the blockbuster deal centered around Blake Griffin, veteran guard Avery Bradley now finds himself with the L.A. Clippers, which is his third team in the last year. However, despite seeing it as a cause for concern, he still found a reason to be excited about representing a new team.
One of them is the chance to play for his former coach, Doc Rivers. He talked about their good relationship in the past and how he helped him when he entered the league back in 2010, via ClutchPoints' own Tomer Azarly.
“I played with Doc for three years. I feel that we were able to learn a lot, we've been through a lot of battles together so having a chance to play for him again, I'm hoping it can help improve my game even more…”

Bradley spent his first seven years in the NBA with the Boston Celtics, three of those under the tutelage of the champion head coach. Now with the Clippers, he will be relied upon heavily to rub his defensive acumen to his new teammates and serve as one of their veteran locker room leaders as well.
Although his stint with the Pistons was short, he was still able to gain a lot of experience and learned how to play with an elite center, which he can apply now that he will be on the same side as DeAndre Jordan. His addition to the Clippers may have been overshadowed by Griffin's inclusion in the same deal, but he could turn out to be an important addition to them as they try to make the playoffs.
