Bledsoe Trade Talks Will End - But When?

Bledsoe had a nice debut with MIL, 13/7/3 but had his normal 3 turnovers

Yeah i'm happy we didnt get Bledsoe. He aint the defender he was and he cant shoot. His playmaking was always suspect too. Not a bad player but not as good as you would think from his inflated stats. He is an undersized scoring guard that cant shoot, relies on athleticism and is injury prone.

Yeah, it seems like some here were saying that he's a scorer not a shooter and he's a scorer not a passer. Media labels someone and people buy into it. The eyes can find the truth, if we keep our minds open instead of listening to the media.

Bledsoe is a good improvement for Milvoki team. He does not forget to play defense in past two seasons, simple his former team was in "tank-job" process and doesn't need that from him. Giannis is in incredible form since the start of the season, Middleton and Brogdon also, but the team is still with the just 4-6 W-L record. Now with Bledsoe, they are already 2-0, especially defense works better, and I expect from him very positive "missing piece" effect on Bucks team this season... if he stays healthy.

Too early do draw any conclusions. Two games is almost nothing and one of them was against the Lakers.
He didnt forget to play defense but he did suffer a few injuries and that is enough to go from a positive defender to an average or below average defender considering his size. Especially if he is trying to preserve his health.

Guess the Suns thought the Bucks would be worse than the Nuggets if they got Bledsoe rather than DEN

Well the pick is heavily protected so i guess they didn't really do it for the pick... I think they will try to leverage the expiring contract and the Lakers need for Cap space to get some good stuff. Maybe they could pull of a deal similar to the Nets one. There are other teams that are also in cap hell next year so they could be a safety net.
