Season Speculation, Trade Ideas & Discussion Pt. 2

This is looking like the way to go.

Phx out: Bledsoe/Chandler/2nd
Mil out: Brogdon/Monroe/Tele

The 2nd is whatever, we have enough of them. If Milwaukee wants to include Henson instead of Monroe, they'd have to include some picks cause that contract is awful. I just don't see a Milwaukee deal where Brogdon isn't included happening.

This makes sense to me but word is that Milwaukee is unwilling under any circumstances to part with Brogdon. So, that's it there.

They potentially want Bledsoe but without Maker or Brogdan if this and other reports are true. I hope they realize that sending contracts like Monroe or Henson or Delly with a first rounder isn't going to get it done either. I mean, the Clippers - if they were inclined to trade Beverly, Johnson and Dekker - would be more appealing than taking John Henson and a future first.

Bucks get: Bledsoe/Chandler
Sixers get: Dellavedova/Suns 2nd
Suns get: Okafor/McConnell/Thon/Monroe/Bucks 1st

Suns get: Okafor/McConnell/Thon/Monroe/Bucks 1st

I don't think TJ is available. He is a good player. Better pro than college.

I just am not sure the Sixers do that. And why would the Suns need Okafor and Monroe - or are they expiring

I still prefer the other deal, straight with Bucks - they can even have a couple seconds

100% on board with this

Brogdon)/Ulis or James
Booker/Daniels or James
Warren/Jackson
Chriss/Bender/Telly
Monroe/Len

not too shabby

Monroe is a $17M expiring. That will come in handy later in the season when a team is looking to shed salary and maybe as a disgruntled star available.

And sure TJ is a good player, hence why i would like to give him a shot, but its not like Philly will really be using him. I mean Simmons runs the point from the SF position, they have their #1 pick Fultz at the "Technical" PG spot, they have Bayless, they would be adding Delly.

Sign me up and get that deal done. I expect a similar offer and maybe a pick.

Bucks get: Bledsoe/Chandler
Sixers get: Dellavedova/Suns 2nd
Suns get: Okafor/McConnell/Thon/Monroe/Bucks 1st

Sign me up if Sixers want to move Okafor. That would be a killer trade.

If Nets pick, Brogdon and Frank N. are not available just do Bled+Chandler for Monroe+Telly+pick. Not a great return but I would like to end this Bled drama.

that seems wildly optimistic

[Fo-Real]

Just get rid of Bled sooner rather than later. If we get rid of Chandler in the Bled deal with someone like the Bucks, I would try to flip the Bucks garbage and an asset for Okafor also.

[jcsunsfan]

Lots of options with Philly. Both Philly and the Suns are under the cap so uneven trades salary-wise are possible.

Wonder if there is a way to pry Fultz away from them.

If the Bucks didn't want to include Brogdan but were willing to give their first - I would do that deal for sure. Expiring contract of Monroe would be a nice asset in February. Another first round pick would be three firsts and three seconds.

Gambo just mentioned a possible PG next year in Knight - never thought of it. They have to pay him...

Brandon Knight - Earl Watson = Success?

[Years90Suns]

I do not see the point of getting Monroe instead of Chandler. Yes, I know Monroe has one year left (this one), but he is freeing money to get whooooo??? Is anybody going to come here for money? Nooooo...
I believe it is much better for the short term and for the long one to keep Chandler.
He is a compromised player, plays defense, teaches the others and keep the group together.
The thing we need to do is develop Chriss, Len, Warren, Bender, Jackson, Booker, Ulys and James/Williams.
We have 4-5 players that will be legit starters (Chriss, Jackson, Len, Bender and may be Warren) and a potential star in Booker.
We do not need anybody else on board besides a good young player for Bledsoe. Mudiay or Harris should be enough. We need a big and physical guard that can take some preasure off Booker.

So you are saying better coaching - not life, but basketball - might help a guy like Brandon Knight. Interesting ....

At least Ryan admitted he should have interviewed more people. There were decent choices - didn't have to pick Watson. And for a young team, you want a teacher of basketball. Hell David Thorpe from ESPN would have been better than Watson.

At least Ryan admitted he made the wrong decision when he hired Watson. Everyone else in the league pretends they never make mistakes. Major props for being upfront.

Glad to see Dave King come out with this stuff. Look, if McD is right then it needs to be said that this is on the player/agent not the FO. Should we have traded Bled in the off season? Yes. Was it unfair to Bled to shut him down? Yes. But, going nuke on a situation like Bledsoe did is not the answer.

Hope Hayes, Amin, etc. see this or try to reply to Dave perhaps our FO isn't at fault on this one (they've been at fault plenty).

Nobody here is surprised that Bledsoe/Watson pulled this bull. Definitely not a coincidence that they are both represented by Lebron.

By LeBron's Agency... I highly doubt LBJ orchestrated all this. I don't put this on LeBron same as I wouldn't put something on my CEO for stupidity displayed by a random manager.
