Bradley was the Lakers' starting point guard, but will not play when the season resumes
Avery Bradley wasn't the first player to decide not to play when the NBA season resumes at Disney World in Orlando, but he is by far the most important to do so thus far. Davis Bertans and Trevor Ariza may hold similar value as players, but neither plays for a contending team. Bradley's Los Angeles Lakers have a legitimate chance to win the championship, and he was their starting point guard. Now the Lakers have a seven-day transaction window a month before play resumes to figure out how to replace one of their most important players.
How will they do it? To figure that out, we need to start by assessing what the Lakers are really losing with Bradley out. We'll start with the end of the court for which he is known: his defense.
