Bledsoe to the Bucks For Monroe/#1 - POLL ADDED

Post #601 » by **Prez** » Tue Nov 7, 2017 7:10 pm

I feel sad reading all these posts on the GB, trade board, Suns board, etc. just trashing Moose. Such an underrated, underappreciated player man. Bounced back after a tough first year, dealt with getting benched and Kidd's BS like a pro, played awesome. And outside of Bucks fans he's talked about like he's some random scrub.

Anyone that tweets 'I don't wanna be here' carries with him some concerns.
I sure hope we have someone in the locker room strong enough to not let Bledsoe take over.
If he hates Phoenix, it sure will be interesting what he thinks of Milwaukee in January.
That being said, it was most likely a risk worth taking.

As long as he smells the leaves for a week of a Wisconsin fall he should bank that memory and love it here. Someone take him for a walk on the ice age trail, a cone at Kopps, a bike ride along the lake before it's too cold.

Don't forget the river! Get him in a kayak or Edelweiss cruise!

Edelweiss cruise? Intrigued. Polka and Lederhosen?

And terrifying.

I don't know how this lineup guards any legitimate bigs.

Warriors do it and our 'big' defender is 7'0 while there's is 6'7. 4 of those 5 guys are generally good defenders, plus you should be able to blow everyone off the floor offensively.

It makes me nervous when all of the "experts" like this trade for the Bucks and this board overwhelmingly likes the trade as well.

Can we get him back this some or we arent allowed for 1 year?

Raptor fan in peace. I'm reading the last few pages, and people are talking about the pick protections? Who cares about the picks. Bledsoe has put you guys on another level. You guys are a top 3 team in the East now. That pick isn't going to matter in the long run as you guys go to the 2nd round and possibly even ECF, and your players are still getting better too.

This is so not how I imagined these things going. I pictured the guy being away from his team, then walking into the room with everyone else and being like "hey I just got traded", then everyone is like "whaaaat no way bro" and then there's that one guy that's like "for who?"

I feel like that's kind of what happened with Knight if I remember right.

If Monroe gets bought out, are we allowed to bring him back? Not that we would have the money to do so or anything.

Right, we'd have to have the worst injury luck to multiple guys, including to Giannis, combined with bad ping pong ball luck. It's a no brainer.

But do keep in mind we're Bucks fans, predetermined to think of worst case scenarios since that's pretty much how the last 30 years have gone...

Moose isn't a scrub at all. In the right system he's productive. Hell had some great games last year. But we don't really have any offensive system. It's pretty much random. With a good coach he'll be good.

Any coach crazy enough to leave a legitimate big on the floor against this lineup deserves to be fired. That’s how you guard a legitimate big against this lineup

It's actually a cruise where everyone gets on a boat and sings the entire catalog of The Sound of Music.

Or it's this.

Good trade.
Finally ... the moment has come and we cashed on Monroe.
I posted the day that Monroe announced he opt in that the only thing that I am happy for is that we can get something for him.
His expiring was a good asset. I think Bledsoe for Greg and a 1st is worth the gamble.
Wish Bledsoe the best.
Next target ... D.Cousins !!!
Go Bucks.

Has Wssp talked about this trade a lot this morning? I just don't understand the constant Brett Huntley talk. Everyone knew he was a below average QB and now shocked he is playing at a below average level. There shouldn't be enough to talk about to over shadow a huge NBA trade.

I won’t pretend I know enough about Bledsoe and if he can run PNR, or if Kidd will have him do this. Any good highlights that someone can post?

The trade broke right before Bill Michaels' show and Bill Michaels is still on the air. It's pretty obvious that they're talking about the Packers and even if they're not, it's not like you're going to be missing any meaningful insight.
