So we're letting Jabari walk and signing Lebron in the offseason now, right?

Surely he will want to play with Giannis and his buddy Bledsoe. :)

Lets see how his attitude improves, will Bledsoe accept coming off the bench or are they going to force Brogdon who is already a better player to come off? I think Monroe probably would of have had a bigger impact this season, we have ZERO muscle inside which has been a far bigger problem this season than guard play.

ETA until people hate Bledsoe? 2 weeks?

Not worried about the luxury tax next year... we have billionaire owners. if they can get jabari healthy and sign the core of bledsoe, giannis, jabari, brogdon, mids for a few years is a good start.

LOTTO PROTECTED:

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/21326383/phoenix-suns-finalizing-deal-send-eric-bledsoe-milwaukee-bucks-greg-monroe-draft-picks

The Phoenix Suns are finalizing a deal to send guard Eric Bledsoe to the Milwaukee Bucks for center Greg Monroe, a first-round and a second-round draft pick, league sources told ESPN.

The teams reached an agreement in principle on deal terms late Monday night, and were spending early Tuesday finalizing medical evaluations on the players included in the deal before formalizing a deal, league sources said.

There would be lottery protections on the first-round pick, league sources said.

"There would be lottery protections on the first-round pick, league sources said."
At a party given by a billionaire, Kurt Vonnegut informs Joseph Heller that their host had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his novel Catch-22.

Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have — ENOUGH.”

I actually think Brogdon goes to 6th man since he can back up both spots. But I'd guess the closing lineup will often be Bledsoe, Brog, Snell, Mid, Giannis. Henson in for Snell if the other team has a brute at the 5.

With Jabari healthy a a closing lineup up of Bledsoe, Brog, Mid, Jabari, Giannis is scare offensively.

Kidd has no excuses now, if the schemes don't improve he's got to go

They can both be right. If the lotto protection kicks in, it's a future 1st rounder. Go with what Woj is reporting.

Wow! If so this is robbery.

Congrats guys! You didn't give up too much and got a very good PG. Hope our paths cross in the ECF when you guys knock the Cavs out :wink:.

Can't hate on the Moose. He always carried himself with class and was willing to stand up for his teammates. It's too bad he wasn't a better fit, here.
