The defensive specialist will certainly field some calls from other interested teams. Bradley can guard multiple positions and can chip-in offensively when needed.

Last year Bradley averaged 8.6 points per game and shot the three and a 36.4% clip in 49 games last season for the Lakers. He didn't play in Orlando's playoff bubble as he opted-out due to family concerns.

The Warriors, Bucks Hawks, Celtics, Pelicans and Suns are expected to be interested in Bradley's 3-and-D capabilities.
