Earlier this summer, the Detroit Pistons shook things up a bit with the acquisition of veteran guard Avery Bradley from the Boston Celtics.

What makes this move interesting for the Pistons beyond just Bradley's potential impact this upcoming season is that he's set to enter the final year of his four-year, $32 million deal that will pay him $8.8 million for the 2017-18 NBA season.

Despite that, head coach Stan Van Gundy doesn't foresee any possible luxury tax situation preventing team owner Tom Gores from re-signing if he believes the 26-year-old is worth it, according to Pistons.com.

“In the right situation for the right people, Tom’s more than willing to pay the tax,” Van Gundy said. “I think about half the league’s going to be paying the tax this year. Tom’s not opposed to that.”

If the Pistons are willing to go that route, Bradley has already voiced a desire to re-sign on a long-term deal with the team. Through his first seven seasons in the league, he has developed into a dependable two-way player. Bradley is regarded as one of the top defenders at his position that is shown through the pair of All-Defensive team selections in his career.

Bradley is also coming off his best offensive campaign where he set career highs with 16.3 points per game on 46.3 percent shooting from the field and 39 percent from beyond the arc. The move to the Pistons could present him a promising opportunity to expand on that progress even further as a primary piece to the long-term puzzle.
