and re-sign Matt Barnes?
then we could have dealt bledsoe.

CP/ DC
JJ/ J. Cross
Ronnie Butler/ Barnes
Blake/ Bledsoe deal and not Tawn Jamie
DJ/ Ryan Hollins/ Not Mullens


discuss.

Most we could have offered JJ would be MLE, he'd probably sign with Minnesota for those nearly 7 million. And if we somehow got him to agree, we wouldn't have been able to re-sign Barnes, since we didn't have his bird rights. He'd probably have ended in Minnesota too. EDIT- aaaand we wouldn't have Collison either.

We got the most we could have gotten for Bledsoe, remember he didn't have the value he has now. Most of the league didn't believe he could have been a starter.

Plus, and I know I'm alone on this boat again, but Dudley is probably the best SF in the league making less than the MLE (excluding rookie contracts), and we needed a SF with urgency. And for all your complaints about him, Butler would have been a lot more cringe worthy.

Bucks should of taken Butler and sign and traded JJ and could of saved us the time. Bledsoe alone could of got us a great sf.

oh ok haha

deng would be cool, but his price tag is quite high, and we would have to re sign him or let him walk after giving away assets for him
