Another day that Bucks get screwed over in a trade.

Still doesnt solve Clippers' Turiaf, Hollins, Odom playing at center in the 4th quarter problem.

Adding Scola to the Clippers would have been big. Maybe they can sign Gortat. I doubt they have the money for it. Oh well.

@RealGM on Twitter, calling this a blockbuster, where Reddick maybe the best player, would be incorrect.

you're right but Carl Landry is one player in our sights who could help change that.

Terrific trade for Phoenix!!! Bledsoe is sick! McDonough apparently can wheel and deal as good as he evaluates talent. Can't wait to see what he can get for Gortat!

It's a great trade for the Bucks. Reddick was leaving anyway, so they basically got two 2nd round picks for free.

So what happens with Dragic...?

PHX managed to flip Dudley (nothing special glue guy) + 2nd rounder (some future bum) for Bledsoe (future all star) and Butler (washed up, still solid former all star). Congrats PHX. Hats off to your new GM.

But you traded Harris to Orlando for Redick, so now you got a 2nd round pick in return for one of the best young SF's in the league. Why make that deal if you're not willing to pay Redick to stay?

Oh, the first trade was HORRIBLE. JJ basically told him he wouldn't re-sign beforehand, making the trade to bring him to Milwaukee absolutely inexcusable. But that stupidity aside, this deal in the here and now is good, as they would have literally nothing otherwise.

2 second round picks is close to nothing, but I guess it's literally better than nothing...

This doesn't look like a good trade for the Clips. Bledsoe + Caron Butler should've netted more than this. Especially with Caron being an expiring contract as well.

Redick & Dudley do fit better, but they're just inferior players in my opinion. I think they would've been better served to showcase Eric Bledsoe early in the season and move him before New Year's, allowing his price to rise in the meantime.

Great deal for the Suns, though, and a good deal for the Bucks also to get two 2nd round picks for a player who was leaving regardless.
