Bledsoe to the Bucks For Monroe/#1 - POLL ADDED

[Jimmmycrackcorn]

I like the trade, but if it keeps us from resigning Jabari (who I still think will be a borderline all star) then it’s really a Monroe, Parker, first for Bledsoe. Not nearly as good. Let’s hope we can clear salary or the owners are willing to pay the tax.

the bucks can still sign Jabari.....might have to pay the luxury tax, but that shouldn't be a concern for billionaire owners

The concern isn't next season. The concern is 3-4 years from then if we start going into the luxury tax next season. Have to keep an eye on the big picture. The last thing we want is to be forced to have a fire sale during Giannis' prime years.

you'll have expiring deals in Henson, Delly, and Telly.... That's the long-term.

I'm guessing this was in the works and impacted Vaughn's option not having been picked up. I'd like to see Bledsoe, Brogdon, and Snell share guard duties with about ~32 minutes each. Delly can be the 4th guard that plays spot minutes and a backup option if one of these 3 gets hurt.

[Chuck Diesel]

He's gotta tweet "I Do wanna be here" when he gets off the plane. Please make it happen universe.

[JayMKE]

Really dont know wtf Phoenix is going to do with Monroe

could they waive him even?

[Ron Swanson]

Now trade Delly for a rotation big. Kosta Koufos anyone?

[Rockmaninoff]

We're trading assets to try and save Kidd's job.

HAHAHAHA.

Yep

If the Packers suck and someone actually tweets “I wanna be here” after getting traded to the Bucks, someone wake me up.

Deadspin: Report: Bucks Trade for Eric Bledsoe, Who Better Not Mess This Up.

[DingleJerry]

I'm sure PHX will have their ears open on trades for Monroe too, try to acquire something of value. Starting talking to LAL for Deng type stuff, and what assets they'd attach to dump Deng.

HAHAHAHA.

Yep

I don't know how much of an asset a lottery protected 1st is? Not trying to see anymore DJ Wilsons on the team...

[Dead Horst]

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

Sound in theory, yes. Problem is Phoenix would've taken on an extra year in the Dellavedova / Chandler swap. No dice

Yeah next year would be the year to worry about. After that, Bledsoe, Khris, and Telly are all off the books. I guess if they are repeat offenders they should be worried but can't worry about that now.

[ReasonablySober]

The wait for Parker made all the more painful. I can't wait to see

Bledsoe
Snell
Middleton
Parker
Giannis

Good luck defending that.

[LUKE23]

Time to bring up Bolomboy and see what he has. I'd start Brogdon, move Snell to the bench and see what we can do with four ball handlers on the court. Would really need a glass eater at C though.

AAAAAAAAND 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will miss this so much. They should ask him to record a track for the PA system before leaving and just play it after every And 1.

Some people say they still hear echoes of Michael Redd's AND 1!!! cries in the nooks and crannies of the BMO.

[yannisk]

Another nba player on the team. The center position is very thin. Now is the time to bring a real coach

HAHAHAHA.

Yep

An expiring Monroe, a lottery-protected first and a second are hardly assets.

[Nowak008]

Another nice thing is we can move Brog to the bench where he has good chemistry with Monroe. Oh wait.

Wish we coulda added Thon +DJ and dumped Telly or Delly and kept Monroe.

Not to mention they are moving into a new arena next year. the owners want the best possible team to put on the court to open the thing. they will not let jabari go unless he is traded.
