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

[JimmyTheKid]

I hope Brandon Knight doesn't prejudice Bledsoe against Milwaukee. At least he can give him some cultural background and tips on things like local cuisine.

No man -- a bratwurst isn't a hot dog for white folks. It's a white hot dog.

I've seen that same exact look on Bledsoe's face a number of times from Bucks' players and coaches when interacting with Brandon Knight.

I'm between "like it" & "dislike it" honestly. I like the increase in talent, and what Bledsoe brings, but I'm a bit fearful of his attitude and effect on the team. I'm also concerned about the loss of physicality on this team without Moose. I'm afraid we will be as soft as a baby's backside, especially in the post. But we shall see, I guess....

[Balls2TheWalls]

Like it. Will love it if we can turn Thon and Delly into a big that suits the team.

[JimmyTheKid]

This is the most excited this Board has been over an acquisition since, ......, well since the Greg Monroe Free Agent signing.

And if Bledsoe turns out to be an important contributor to deep playoff runs I guess we can all look back and say the Greg Monroe signing was a good one.

I hate the timing. Why couldn’t we do this after we canned Kidd? How does he still survive!!!!! God this is frustrating

[Beorn]

So in the best case scenario draft-wise we end up with the 16th 46th pick this year, right? Basketball-wise, I think 16th pick means that we are still mediocre as hell after the trade or Giannis (knocks wood*) misses half a dozen games for some reason this year

[Magic Giannison]

Thinking of Giannis and Bledsoe PNR justifies the trade more than enough, not to mention passing, good defender and shooting.

He has literally never had an attitude problem.

And even still the only way it could 'disastrous' or a similar bad word like that would be that if we happen to win the lottery in that unprotected year. Barring something absolutely unforeseen there's no way they'll be bad enough to be a heavy favorite to win the lottery that year, so you'd have to get horribly unlucky with the ping pong balls for it to happen. It's not at all like the BKN picks that were delayed a couple years when those old players were all gonna be washed up

what Bledsoe brings is a conduit to more talent. bigtime talent who WANTS TO PLAY WITH HIM.

I'm looking forward to phasing bums out for Kentucky buddies personally.

This is a good trade for us. Minimal risk, high reward. That 1st SHOULD be in the twenties and Monroe was a bad fit who was going to walk anyways. Yeah, his expiring was a great asset, but this was a solid opportunity to cash in on it. We didn't give up Brogdon or Thon!

Now, let's make a trade for another big. Okafor could be plugged into Monroe's role. Or we could try to pry away a guy like Capela if Houston is scared of drifting further into the cap abyss. RoLo or Dedmon could be gotten perhaps.

This is so not how I imagined these things going. I pictured the guy being away from his team, then walking into the room with everyone else and being like "hey I just got traded", then everyone is like "whaaaat no way bro" and then there's that one guy that's like "for who?"

Bledsoe / Brogdon / Middleton / Jabari / Giannis lineups are going to be fun.

I won’t pretend I know enough about Bledsoe and if he can run PNR, or if Kidd will have him do this. Any good highlights that someone can post?

[msiris]

Too bad we gave them an expiring rather than Henson.

Bledsoe / Brogdon / Middleton / Jabari / Giannis lineups are going to be fun.

And terrifying.

This makes me sad

I don't know how this lineup guards any legitimate bigs.
