Word broke Friday morning that the Celtics had reportedly traded Avery Bradley to the Detroit Pistons for Marcus Morris and a second-round pick and the Boston Twitter beehive was officially buzzing.

All in all, Boston fans took the exit relatively well. The reality that Bradley was going to be due a lot of money once his contract expired next season seems to have tempered some of the reaction. Of course, not everyone was happy, but there was much more praise of Bradley's time in Boston than anger. OK, there was a good amount of anger reserved for Danny Ainge.

Pistons. Ok so either we can do Jae Crowder and Rozier for Morris and a 1st or just Bradley for Morris.

Avery Bradley is a better version of what people pretend Shump might magically turn into one of these days.

But through the anger, the nostalgia was still present. Tweets of Bradley's best moments and praise of his defense weren't hard to find.
AND Avery Bradley was the last remaining #Celtic that played on a KG/Pierce led team 💔😢☘️

And no reaction would be complete without some media personalities and fans already predicting how Bradley will leave Detroit next year.
Avery Bradley is a really nice two-way player. Wouldn’t mind the Cavs getting their hands on him once Stan Van gets fired mid-year.

Long live NBA Free Agency.
