That makes sense...That's kind of what I liked about Spellman (though I would guess perimeter D is not a strength). He gives you toughness (which this team is in dire need of), shooting, good passing, seemed to box out and rebound well...the big man of the future!

I don't know if it's that necessary to have both, but at least one of the two.

Hell, if you can do both as a big man you're one damn good player and probably at least a fringe All-Star.

Not taking much from this tweet, unless there's more detail. Any team currently without a 2nd-rounder is, of course, going to want a 2nd-rounder. Now, if the tweet said the Bucks wanted another 1st-round pick, then we're talking.

"Milwaukee wants more picks" gives me hope that we're either shopping Bledsoe for a lottery choice (8?, 12?, 13?), or trying to buy an early-2nd.

Shipping Bledsoe to Cleveland for 8 and drafting Young/Sexton would be sweet.

Honestly, if they're gonna go with the guys MKE has been linked to, I'd be fine trading down or out.

I love Spellman. Would be great to wind up with him somewhere.

Yeah I could see us ending up with 8 and 17 and taking Walker and Jerome Robinson or something

I can only pray that the Cavs are dumb enough to think Bledsoe is enough to get Lebron to stay and trade #8 for him.

If we got 8 and didn't take one of the Centers, assuming they're still on the board, lol...

If someone were to fall to 14, I'd look into packaging Bledsoe/17 for Faried/14/Beasley or 43. Denver's looking to move Faried and have targeted Bledsoe in the past.

The Fan, 107.5 in green bay was running a promo spot that said "The NBA draft is Thursday and the Bucks pikc #17, but nobody cares and we only cover the sports you want so tune in for XXXXX" which changed daily . Dick move, possibly true up there, and given the lack of coverage on who we worked out I guess its true down there too.

I haven't worked particularly hard to find out but who has been worked out that has a chance of being value at 17, most of the list of guys I did see seemed like 2nd round guys for a pick we don't have. Usually by now we know which restaurant the presumptive pick had brunch at, some intrigue makes this a little more exciting I guess, and maybe this group has put a better lid on leaks lately but I feel like we know nothing about what has been going on.
