We supposedly agreed to contract terms with Jerryd Bayless two weeks ago, but he still hasn't signed his contract. Bucks are waiting on something as it relates to a sequencing of transactions. Maybe Bledsoe, may be a different deal.
The problem is you guys don't have the right assets assuming you don't want to trade Parker and the Greek. First, we would likely need two unprotected firsts, and if not unprotected, at least low protection like top 3.
Secondly we'd have to get matching salaries so it gets tough. Assuming we don't want Sanders or Henson, it would probably have to be guys that would add depth to our biggest need positions and have reasonable salaries, like Zaza who would add nice depth but wish he could block shots. Then Brandon Knight to be a decent third guard, as IT would probably start with Dragic. And then I suppose Ilyasova who would be a perfect fit if he was healthy, but we'd need those three contracts to match unless you are under the cap enough to where we don't need to match, then if we didn't want all those guys we could take less.
The firsts would be imperative though because the assets are not nearly good enough to trade Bledsoe for. The good version of Sanders, if he didn't have headcase problems, would be a nice fit, but that's an awful lot of money to give to a risk like him. Henson has shown some flashes, and he might be a guy the Suns like, but not sure. Maybe they would want him. He may have more value than the other guys, though he doesn't really fit the needs of our team as much.
I don't think this offer would make us nearly as good of a team though, so we likely wait out the Bledsoe thing at least until mid October if it goes that long.
I imagine most of the posters here will hate the deal I outlned above unless they love the draft and the idea of getting a couple more first round picks.
