our 2 best offers. Bucks and Nuggets can probably put together better offers. I wouldn't want Bledose for any other 2 deals other then this.


I'd rather just let him walk. Don't want Kanter's contract or Noah's contract.

Potential Trade:

Bucks Trade: DJ Wilson, Greg Monroe, Rashad Vaughn, 2018 First lottery protected
Receiver: Julius Randle, Eric Bledsoe

Bledsoe is a clear guard rotation contributor at the expense of Monroes expiring clearing some cap, Randle seems on the outs this year in LA with Kuzma and Nance looking like they are more valuable rotation options at PF, but the Bucks need to replace Monroes minutes and decide to use Randle as a small ball center off the bench for a year hoping that Giannis's length will offset his lack of rim protection.

Lakers Trade: Josh Hart, Julius Randle, Jordan Clarkson
Lakers Receive: Rashad Vaughn, Greg Monroe

Using Randle and Hart to give up Clarksons contract in the quest to acquire two max slots for 2018, the clear focus is getting another massive expiring on the team in Monroe. They still get a prospect in Vaughn who may need a change of scenery to replace Hart as a prospect SG, but the addition of Monroe to Lopez and Caldwell-Popes contract almost guarentees the can pair two star players together in the 2018 offseason, the big stimulus towards getting this deal done.

Phoenix Trades: Eric Bledsoe
Phoenix Receives: Jordan Clarkson, DJ Wilson, Josh Hart, 2018 1st from Milwaukee

Taking a chance on two first rounders from this past draft, the Suns get their two prospects in terms of a young player they want back in addition to getting Clarkson who is still a young player on a decent deal at PG to replace Bledsoes minutes. While the 3 later pick/players are assets that are young and need development, Clarkson has shown he is young and can score at an NBA level. With the Suns knowing they aren't going anywhere for 2 years at minimum, featuring Clarkson as a scoring PG may help rehab his value and provide another asset down the line and he's young enough where he can reasonable improve to be a good starter,

I liked it better when posters from other forums came here for shared game threads.

This flood of crappy trade proposals is boring and purposeless. We are already facing a long draught of anything positive, we can live without having to read those terrible trade ideas that will give us pennies on the dollar for our nearest-all-star.

Thank you.

Earl Watson signed with Rich Paul but had to find a new agent when the NBA made a rule saying that players and coaches could not use the same agent.

No wonder why Watson and Bledsoe were close.

Rich Paul is a destroyer of franchises. We should avoid any player he represents and it starts with shipping off Bledsoe. Misguided or not, I'm done with him and Rich Paul.


My beef with Watson actually started when he tried to sign w/ Paul.

McD is non too fond of Paul either....emphasizing Bledsoe is listening to the wrong people in his interview with Gambo today.

IMO, this last week has been the best week for the FO in the past couple years. These are two moves that needed to happen. The sooner the better. I really dont give a S*** what we get for Bled, the team will function better with out him. No bad feelings, but rather a big thank you for expediting the departure.


Listening to Gambo, you get the impression that Watson was completely overmatched with the responsibility of basketball instruction. This is just a guess, but Im betting Dudley was very candid with McD about what Watson was and wasn't doing. Without quoting anyone, Gambo referenced several players who said they learned more in a day with JT than a month with Earl 'Tony Robbins' Watson.

Hey. Would an offer of Enes Kanter and a future 2nd rounder for Bledsoe intrigue you guys? The money matches up. Kanter is a beast in the paint. Pulled down 19 rebounds tonight (w/ 16 points) against the Celtics.

Hey all, Omer Asik, Alvin Gentry and a third rounder for Bledsoe.

I asked all my fellow Pelicans fans and they said this was too much for Bledsoe, but I think it's good for both sides, the pelicans and me.

We need at least half of Anthony Davis' unibrow. The good half.

How about Kyle O’Quinn, Courtney Lee and a future 2nd?

No.

I think that we just a want a young player with potential. Ntilikina is the only player that we want from the Knicks IMO.

Murray from the Nuggets or Brogdon from the Bucks. Someone like that.

If we can not get a player like that we will wait, we are not fighting for playoffs or contending.

All those trade proposals are just awful compared to what Suns got for Dragic and Markieff. Even for "untradeable" Marcus Morris Suns got 2nd round pick. I hope Gms value Bledsoe higher than posters here.
