Re: Shams: Jrue Holiday Traded to Bucks for Eric Bledsoe, George Hill, 'Significant (Per Woj)' Draft Compensation

Does this make him happy? Maybe in the short term but if they don't win with Giannis, Middleton and Holiday they now have no assets to position themselves going forward.

They aren't trading for a star. They're trying for a good player. Giannis wants to play with another star I feel.

The AD trade looks better and better by the day.

Can you blame the Bucks?

They needed an all in move and they need a guy who can work for the future as well (not cp3)

They were already legit contenders, now they are even stronger

Easy move for Milwaukee as I assume this guarantees Giannis resigns. Assuming Giannis signs an extension, these are just 3 late round draft picks.

What a bad move for Milwaukee.

Of they don’t win this year Giannis is gone for sure. What road to improving the roster is left if they don’t win this year?

Every other main player on that team is over 30 and they have 0 picks left

Jrue is better than Bledsoe but he doesn't take the Bucks from being nearly swept in the 2nd round to a championship.

Hill was also an underrated piece for a Bucks bench that wasn't great overall.

Can't help but wonder if all this Harden to BK talk got Bucks thinking they should be as aggressive as possible.

Lopez, Giannis, Middleton, DDV, Holiday... very nice starting 5 but very little meaningful depth

Why did they not offer this for CP3?

What in the holy hell - that is WAY too much for Jrue and I love the guy, Griffin is bending dudes over

He smells the desperation from teams and shows no mercy. At first glance this deal looked like crap for NO but when you factor in the draft pick compensation, wow.

There had to be an agreement on a long term extension with Holiday, right?
