The Golden State Warriors and Milwaukee Bucks are interested in luring Avery Bradley away from the Los Angeles Lakers, per Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.
Bradley can become an unrestricted free agent once the 2020 free agency period begins if he declines his 2020-21 player option with the Lakers worth $5,005,350.

Avery Bradley appeared in 49 games for the Lakers during the 2019-20 regular season. He averaged 8.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists while shooting 44.4 percent from the field, 36.4 percent from beyond the arc and 83.3 percent from the free-throw line.
Because his son, Liam, has a history of struggling to recover from respiratory illnesses, Bradley opted out of participating in the 2019-20 NBA restart at Walt Disney World, where the Lakers defeated the Miami Heat in the Finals in six games.
Bradley is one of the better perimeter defenders in the NBA. It's going to be interesting to see if he declines his player option and tests the open market or decides to take the $5,005,350 and return to the Lakers.
In 571 NBA games, Bradley has career averages of 11.8 points, 2.9 boards and 1.8 assists with the Boston Celtics, Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies and Lakers.
The Warriors finished the 2019-20 season with the worst record in the NBA. However, they will be back in the playoffs next season with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green leading the way.
The Bucks, meanwhile, recorded the best record in the league in 2019-20 for the second consecutive year. However, they lost to the Heat in the second round of the playoffs in five games.
