Pistons get Bradley, sending Morris to Celtics

The Pistons traded forward Marcus Morris to Boston in exchange for guard Avery Bradley and a second-round draft pick in 2019.

Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge released a statement thanking Bradley for his contributions.

Avery did a lot of the dirty work and often didn't get the recognition that he deserved, but our coaches, staff, his teammates, and our fans who watched him play every night appreciated what a special player and person he is.

Bradley was the longest-tenured member of the Celtics, bridging the gap from the era of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen that won the 2008 NBA title.

Boston has plenty of bargaining chips it can use in future moves — the Celtics have been stockpiling first-round picks — and it will be up to Ainge to come up with the right mix.
