No Henson, no Delly, no Mirza, but Moose???

Such a shortsighted move. Nice move from our cap expert after stretching Hawes..
We are doomed..
inb4 Bye Jabari or another one 1st pick!

So you wanted to essentially trade a bag of dicks for an All Star type point guard.

Whose dicks are we talking about here?

Its adorable that Horst is getting all the love for this trade. Because if the Bledsoe deal was universally hated, I have pretty good feeling I know who the whipping boy would be.

Bledsoe is an allstar type PG like Jason Kidd is an allstar type PG

It's ok, with the lotto protected 1st. That's about fair value. But we need to replace Moose now. If there is a good follow-up move then this move upgrades to being positive. Right now it's neutral. Where is that option in the poll. PP didn't like Monroe and wanted the trade for Bledsoe to happen so he skewed this poll!

Bringing someone up from the herd maybe.

Man. Monroe/Delly/1st for Bledsoe/Chandler works in the checker and makes way more sense. Roster composition is a mess right now.

Good job Horst! Now be sure to keep this team together and not let Jabari or Bledsoe walk for nothing.

I am waiting for a secondary trade to negate all the happy feelings about this one. That would be so Buckish.

Kidd might be an awful coach but he's a first ballot hall of famer...

I put like because I do think this is going to have a very big impact on the team this year. If this is a sign that the Billionaire Boys Club's willing to pay the lux tax -- and I'm tempted to read it that way -- I like that, too.

I hope so. It would be a lot of money but for basically one year.

Seems fitting that we should all And-1 every post in this thread in Greg Monroe's honor.

Hey guys, I wrote some analysis on the trade here - https://thefrontofficeeye.com/2017/11/07/bledsoe-traded-to-bucks/

I used to work for the FO of a team a few years back and have started a site that has some analysis on players, games, scouting takes (have a Bagley writeup coming soon), and other FO - related articles.

If the reports are true that this deal is Moose and a lotto protected first for Bledsoe, well that is a better trade for us than even many of the wishful ones I saw proposed here. Goes to show we never have an accurate view of a player’s value until deals are announced. Looks like the market for Bledsoe was not very strong, and Horst played this perfectly. Lowe has hinted several time in the past 6 months that the high level of point guard play around the league has diminished the value of the few that have been available.

Will be fun to watch how long Bledsoe keeps his new car smell on this board.

I think we needed to add a guy who can break down defenses, get in the paint, and serve as a secondary creator. Nice to see Horst felt the same and acted.

Bledsoe, Snell, Mids, Giannis, Thon with Delly, Brogs, and Jabari off the bench is going to win a playoff series.
