Bucks looking at Bledsoe, probably.

I hope whoever is advocating not this gets it out of their head. For one thing, why would Wade come here? Secondly, using him would not elevate the Bucks into the playoffs and would take playing time and shots away from developing players. Anyone wanting Wade...please stop.

Carmelo Anthony's intentions have not been communicated to the Bulls, source says. But Chicago has cap-clearing moves teed up.

Anything of note we might be able to pull from the Bulls in a salary dump?

Nothing that makes sense for us, but maybe in a 3-way where Gibson goes somewhere and we get a garbage contract and assets.

I wouldn't worry. If he goes anywhere other than Miami it would probably be Chicago (assuming no Melo)

What does Chicago even need to do to get max cap? Amnesty Boozer and move Dunleavy?

Wonder is the Suns would be interested in Gibson? A way for us to get Bledsoe

I think it is still too early to give up on Henson. At least 2 more years and then I would be willing to part ways. I think I would try to pick up an undrafted PG before this trade, like Deandre Kane or something

Henson for Ennis would be a great move by the Bucks. Ennis is one of the best point guards in the draft. Great passer, great assist to turnover rate, excellent defender ( gets lots of steals), decent shooter, very competitive and very smart.There's not much he can't do (take a look at the draft express video of him). Much better fit than Bledsoe and you wouldn't have to pay him anywhere near what Bledsoe will get. If Phoenix would do this, I'd do it right away. Can grow with the team.

I had already been brainstorming on this a little before the Melo to Bulls interest had even been reported to be reignited (because it still made too much sense to give up on), and the best deal I could come up with was something like....

Bucks receive: B. McLemore, D. Williams, Bulls' 1st (ironically originally from Sacramento, top 10 protected)

Bulls receive: Bucks' 2nd (plus Anthony)

Kings receive: Gibson

Although I'm not a fan really of McLemore, but I'd take him with no real risk attached to him if he busts completely, and in conjunction with a 1st that's even late lotto at best.

That seems like a lot for Sacramento to give up for Gibson, but I like the direction.

I'd be all over this. Such a cheap way to get a shot at McLemore developing in years 2-4.

I doubt the Suns have a need for Gibson. They are getting pretty much out of the twins at this point.

Who is Wade taking playing time away from? According to my calculations, OJ Mayo is the only natural SG sitting on the roster. If u ask me anyone not wanting Wade is ridiculous. Especially if ur going to use ridiculous reasons like Wade is going to take away PT from Mayo and Brandon Knight, really?

Anyone thinking Wade will help with a playoff run is wrong, he's done in terms of moving any needle, which makes it all the better to bring him in. The fame and notoriety plus not adding extra wins makes this a steal. This is an easy sell to the public and keeps the course for a decent shot in the lottery. What's really not to like about it?

Cleveland Chicago and Indiana already are going to be loaded with all the star power in the East. It's a wrap for the rest of the conference if all this goes down as being said. There's no reason to be good. Let Toronto, Brooklyn, Washington, Charlotte fight for the scrap pieces. We should be focused on Giannis and Jabari and not much else right now. Kidd and Wade can keep the media buzzing about us while we stink the next 2/3 seasons.

Take the Kings' 2nd off the table, then. I only originally included it because I think technically the Bulls need to get something, then I realized I think we also need to give up something.

McLemore + Williams doesn't seem like too much for the Kings to give up at all if they are interested in finally winning. Gibson is a good fit defensively next to Cousins, the lesser D-Will has negative value at this point if anything, and McLemore is off to a rough start to his career.

Wade takes the ball out of the hands of Giannis/Parker.

Who the **** wants Wade on this Bucks team?!? Who are these people?

birlik54 · Post #1714 » by **birlik54** » Fri Jul 11, 2014 1:50 am

What reason or benefit would there be to bringing in Wade besides PR? There is no tangible benefit in signing an aging and ailing D-Wade at this point. And he's not going to be taking any kind of discount to come here so he'll be asking for an amount of money that he's frankly not worth, and any team would be foolish to give him at this point in his career. To me, that's a Kohl move.

I know the Bucks have some cap space, but that doesn't mean you need to go throwing money away. Not to mention how totally unrealistic it is to think Wade would come here.

mlloyd10 · Post #1715 » by **mlloyd10** » Fri Jul 11, 2014 1:59 am

If we want PR, I'd rather give Allen 9mil and be done with it

I don't want us to sign Wade but if we did there is zero chance we miss the playoffs unless we get hit by injuries.

Plus Wade can be used as Hammonds personal savings account for all I care. Pay Wade some front loaded monster deal so we can't spend the money anywhere else to make the team better and we are looking at cap room galore in a few years when we might actually be ready to make a run at something special. It's a win win for Milwaukee and Wade...

Wade realistically goes to Chicago tho because after his ego is done being dragged through the mud then I'm sure he will want to beat Lebron and Bosh next year. Lebron and Bosh just put out on front street "we can't win with D Wade anymore" and he sacrificed 40mil just to be slapped in the mouth. Chicago is a realistic chance for him to get revenge so it makes the most sense but man would that be a gorgeous sight to see a Wade #3 Bucks jersey. If nothing else then simply for the fame and notoriety is well worth it.

Wade is cooked. Just terrible.

And Gibson.

They can get close and keep Gibson if they dump Butler, but not all the way.

That's why the whole Carmelo-to-Chicago thing was always unrealistic.
