The Celtics have re-signed Avery Bradley to a three-year, $32 million deal.
Bradley, 23, was a restricted free agent.
Bradley maintained a desire to stay in Boston throughout the process, and Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge expressed the same sentiment.
"I think Avery can be a very key player in us winning the championship,” Ainge said. “He does things that other players can’t do. His shooting continues to improve, we all have all seen his terrific defensive abilities...But we also love that he's a great player, someone we hope to keep around here for many years to come."
The Celtics extended a $3.58 million qualifying offer to Bradley, and the $8 million annual salary certainly trumps that offer.
Bradley had a breakout season in 2013-2014, averaging 14.9 points (a career-high) while shooting 44% from the field and 39.5% from the three-point line.
