Bucks looking at Bledsoe, probably.

I dont see us realistically adding a better PG than Bledsoe in FA or the draft.

The assertion that Bledsoe and Knight are even on the same plane of existence as far as basketball is astounding.

They're looking to dump Lin with nothing coming back.

I'd take Mudiay over Bledsoe, but we would probably have to land top 3 next year to get him, maybe even the #1 overall pick. If we can get Bledsoe without giving up a future 1st, it's a home run though.

Is there any news with Troy Daniels free agency? A small deal for him in addition to Bledsoe (if possible) would be excellent. Would add a shooter at the two

Agreed on Mudiay. But yeah I dont see us picking high enough.

One could probably make an argument for Mudiay but other than that I agree with u.

Would only be excited about Bledsoe. Lin could be fine, I guess, depending on the price. I could definitely get behind Henson or Knight for Bledsoe though.

Knight:Bledsoe::Bledsoe:Harden

That's my point. He's not a max player in my eyes.

Don't we have Chris Wright's NG contract we could send to Houston?

How is Bledsoe's defense?

He is probably one of the best defensive point guards in the league. It is one of his best selling points.

RandyBreuer · Post #233 » by **RandyBreuer** » Sat Jul 5, 2014 11:29 pm

Lin is due 14.9 mil, but 9 against the cap if I got it right.
To save Houston the most salary we simply trade our smallest deal in Miroslav for Lin + assets. Miroslav only due 1.5 mil this year, then a team option.
What is the right compensation to add 7.5 mil in salary and the owners cough up another 6 mil to Lin?
Houston's highest first next year(likely the Pelicans) + Clint Capela?

Nice. Sounds good to me.

Between $14 and $15 a year. I didn't know you guys had that much cap space (thought you had more like 12). I think you just go after Lin. I think he can be really good in the right situation. Sure, as a Suns fan I don't really want you to give Bledsoe and offer, but I'm 99% sure we'd match anyway, and you could end up missing out on the other guys. You might be able to pry an additional asset from Houston too since they are eager to dump Lin, so they can sign Bosh, and also because he does have that balloon payment. I know Philly has offered to take him though, so I don't know what they are asking for in order to take him.

I think Vazquez is kind of underrated too.

You are right. We don't. Bledsoe would have to choose to come here forcing a sign and trade rather than just signing elsewhere. For this to happen we'd realistically have to be the only team offering him a max deal and he'd have to want to play here. I don't find that to be a plausible scenario.

It's going down guys.

Remember Woelfel is kingpin of the Brandon Knight for PG of the future club.

Knight: +0.3 PER differential, -1.8 on/of plus-minus, -0.4 Roland Rating

Bledsoe: +5.3/+3.1/+4.6

BTW, that's a bad time to be a Bucks' fan since. I started following at the same time, and I think we're just now seeing our first glimpse into what it's like to be a fan of a real franchise.

Bfinkish · Post #239 » by **Bfinkish** » Sat Jul 5, 2014 11:57 pm

Neither of these 3 aren't coming to Milwaukee IMO.

Lin will go to 76ers

Bledsoe is staying

Vasquez isn't worth bringing in...

See you in the lottery next year.
