Bucks looking at Bledsoe, probably.

There's something to be said for eschewing bidding wars this time of year.

Well, you're entitled to be totally obviously wrong.

I'm completely fine with Wolters and Sessions so long as Wolters is the starter. IF..We can trade for a PG option that would assist the development of Parker, Giannis et all...I'd be open to that as well. Bledsoe would be sweet, but this is not going to occur.

LOL All this wasted space about trading for Jeremy Lin and other moves that will do nothing to build a long-term winner. The most ridiculous winning post was to trade for Austin Rivers.

Build smart, take your time. No moves are sometimes the best moves. Having said that, the Bucks are overstaffed at forward and have to do something. But take your time. Play some of the veterans like Henson and Ersan to get their value up and use it to get long-term core players. I still think Ennis is under-rated and would be a good piece.

Yep, annual contracts to guys like Gooden, Zaza, Neal, Mayo, Earl Boykins, Tyronn Lue, Keyon Dooling, etc

Bringing Sessions back makes no sense to me at all, he' s no better at PG than Knight is.

I am on board with Austin Rivers teaming with Wolters as our pgs this year. Tank on for one more year and let us see what Rivers looks like in Milwaukee.

LeBron's coming back to the Central assures four losses this year, instead of possibly only three against him in Miami.

The more losses, the better. As put together now, we don't win more than 25 this year.

It wouldn't surprise me if the bucks went balls to the walls for I.thomas if bledsoe falls through.
I know he's short but Stat wise he had a great year what was it like 18/8

Would you guys trade Henson straight up for Ennis? I am undecided but it's interesting to me at least.

Yepper going after a 24 year old pg.wasnt a smart move long term.whatever.
Bledsoe is a perfect guy for long term being he's only 24

I'd take Rivers under two conditions:

1) A first round pick accompanies him

2) He serves as Giannis' "Water, towel and ice" boy.

Bledsoe or nothing. I'd rather have Knight than Thomas.

Chuck Diesel · Post #1874 » by **Chuck Diesel** » Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:16 pm

Miami is probably looking for some players.

Ayt · Post #1875 » by **Ayt** » Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:18 pm

Depending upon how Kebo is doing, I could see Lin putting up something like 18/7.

I don't like it, the potential for another Knight situation is too great. I don't want him fluking into averaging an empty 15 ppg and then being viewed as a piece for the future. Keep those types of players away from this team, imo.

Nah. And I don't like Henson.

Just stop. It's not like anyone was pretending that Rivers was going to be the long-term answer at pg and we should throw a max extension at him. He's a cheap, young guy to buy very low on and see if different surroundings do him any good. If he doesn't pan out, you can get rid of him pretty easily.

Yep- I'll approach the absence of bad moves by the Bucks so far as a positive.

I probably would've absorbed Lin for a late first rounder in the next year or two, though...

Badgerlander · Post #1880 » by **Badgerlander** » Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:23 pm

I think I'd rather pay Bazemore than go after Rivers
