Shams: Jrue Holiday Traded to Bucks for Eric Bledsoe, George Hill, Three 1st Round Picks, 2 Future Draft Pick Swaps

Funny how the tune of this thread changed instantly when people found out the draft capital included by the Bucks. That's an insane amount of picks surely they have heavy protections?

Why not trade for CP3 when he was available? He’s just as good and costs way less to get.

uhh maybe okc didn't want to straddle themselves with bledose? supposedly bucks were using him for the schroeder deal too n okc mustve declined n went with la offer instead

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

Your kidding right Bledsoe was absolutely terrible these last two playoffs and hill can’t guard anyone anymore and was terrible this playoffs. Such a big upgrade it’s not funny better than CP3 where we cleared more cap space too.

If that makes Giannis stay, its worth it. But damn, thats a lot.

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
n how do we know this isnt the mkve Giannis wanted before extending?

Because he has no incentive to extend now rather than later.

If he extends he’s just an idiot. Why would you extend before you even see what your team looks like this year?

Lopez is 32
Matthews is 34
Middleton is 29
Holiday is 30

You could argue all 4’s best season is behind them. On the bench only Divencenzo is young and slightly promising.

I don’t know. Even if the Bucks have a successful season I’d be hesitant if I was Giannis to sign up for 5 years when literally his entire current roster could be retired before his deal is up

Holiday should fit very well with Giannis. But the amount of picks reflects the desperation of the Bucks. This helps the Pelicans rebuild and give the Bucks a chance to win the title this year. They need to make more improvements though. And if they can't get it done or keep Jrue, they just lost a ton of value. Hopefully some protection on those picks

How many picks do the Pels have now?

when Greek signs his extension it'll be worth it...what tor gona do now with their greek sweepstakes when that happens?

Huge overpay, bucks are worse.

mademan · Post #152 » by **mademan** » Tue Nov 17, 2020 5:02 am

This is a "we have you over the barrel" type move. I know im in the minority on this forum, but i think Bledsoe is a lot better than given credit for and Holiday is worse than people hype him out to be on here. The difference is certainly not 3 first rounders+swaps

TheGOATWill · Post #153 » by **TheGOATWill** » Tue Nov 17, 2020 5:02 am

Any chance hill and bledsoe actually make it to new orleans? i'll rephrase...are the pels punting on ball?

Bucks fans now trashing Bledsoe after trying to defend him the last 2 years :lol:

Jcity08 · Post #155 » by **Jcity08** » Tue Nov 17, 2020 5:02 am

So I'm need clarification are the 2 pick swaps not related to the 3 first round picks or it is, making it 2 of 3 first round picks as pick swaps?

Jrue Holiday is a good player and between him and Bledsoe, Jrue is the clear better player for me. Hill is a good backup PG but you still make the deal.

The picks might be excessive if its 5 individual picks, 3 1st round picks and 2 pick swaps.

If that happens, this becomes a hell of a trade for the Bucks. This will nullify any of the swaps and will reassure that the 1sts will just be in the 25-30 range. That isnt bad value if this happens. It becomes franchise crushing only if Giannis walks.

wade44 · Post #157 » by **wade44** » Tue Nov 17, 2020 5:03 am

Truly how much better is Jrue over Bledsoe? Surely a player like Brad Beal could be had for that many draft picks?

PMONSTER · Post #158 » by **PMONSTER** » Tue Nov 17, 2020 5:03 am

I mean... you probably could've just got Derrick Rose for a second round pick and kept it moving. That's a crazy deal they made.

Bledsoe is also a good player but Jrue is a headier point guard with higher iq and decision making ability. He also prefers to slash less than Bledsoe to keep the paint free for Giannis.
