Good for Bucks, good for Suns, and good for Bledsoe. What's the return?

Waiting like a crackhead to find out for who. If they didnt give up any of their core, Cavs are in trouble

Giannis came on like gangbusters this year and surprised a lot of teams but game film is now available. It seems like every year a team or player has a great opening stretch before teams really key into them. Last year it was AD. The Bucks have now lost 4 out of their last 5 and Giannis (who is still great) is coming back down to earth a bit. No chance Bledsoe is the difference maker. You're right that the Cavs are in trouble, but that has nothing to do with Bledsoe.

Good trade for the Bucks. Monroe is a shadow of his old self, probably will be bought out. Guess they just couldn't get a taker for Chandler.

look for a vet-laden contending team to pickup Tyson Chandler (Port, CLE, BOS, etc)

Think Monroe can be a good pickup,he may be a top 6th man ! Chandler is on his last legs ! Just a matter of time before the string bean is injured again !

More likely Monroe, since he's expiring and has been playing well. They've been trying to dump Chandler for a long time, doesn't have value at his age+contract.

Dang, the Bucks pick isn't gonna be very high.

If Parker comes back healthy they have a great future.

shadow of his old self? he's coming off maybe the best statistical season of his career and is 27 years old

he plays well in limited minutes. no way he is a regular starter. he lacks a perimeter game. if 6.8ppg, 5rpg and 0bpg great to you see be it. he played in the playoffs for them asides from that he isnt a keeper.

Denver really dropped the ball here IMO. Murray doesn't appear ready at all for PG and even if he does come around he could play with Bledsoe and they had to many assets as it was. Should have tried to 3 way trade or consolidate a couple.

Yeah dude, a 5 game, 79 MINUTE sample this season, totally legit :crazy:

Last year in 23 minutes per game for a playoff team he was at

21.8 PER
18th best center in the NBA in RPM

That is actually very good and positive contributions. He's certainly not useless and could start or be the 6th man and be very helpful on many teams in the NBA.

so...off the bench he plays well, his "former self" (a starter) was even better, but he's not starter material?

offensive RPM ranks the past 4 seasons amongst centers: 2,11,8,7. defensive ranks: 28,15,45,52. he scores well on solid efficiency and isn't a black hole. his offense is not an issue. his defense is subpar, but he's absolutely starter material

Just read the report below. Suns fans should not get too attached to Monroe.

"Greg Monroe and the Suns have not yet begun to discuss a buyout, as Phoenix will first explore trade possibilities, according to Adrian Wojnarowski‏ of ESPN.

Whether the Suns quickly flip Monroe in another deal or resort to buying him out, "it is unlikely partnership extends through the end of the season," according to Wojnarowski. From a Phoenix perspective, this trade was merely about ‏adding a future first-round pick and ridding themselves of the disgruntled Bledsoe. Monroe was attractive in large part because he is an expiring contract.
