It's simple economics. Supply and demand. And there is some decent demand for him out there. Just wait for the right offer. That is one thing McD has been pretty consistantly good at.Split T wrote:I fail to see how Bledsoe asking to be traded does any real damage to his value. He's still in his prime, and on a great contract for two years. We don't care if we win this year, we could literally leave him at home all season. Did he have more value over the summer? Sure, but not much. These teams will low ball us at first, hoping we panic trade him, but the trades will increase in value as we wait. Just look at Kyrie, the Cavs got a great haul for him.

Re: Bledsoe wants out!
I've never been a fan of the 2 PG lineup. Bledsoe has proven he doesn't work well with a 2 PG lineup so I think they are asking for trouble if they try that. I think it will create chemistry issues just like it did on the Suns.Split T wrote:Brogdon can play on the wing next to Bledsoe. Although that puts Snell on the bench.

I think the point is that Brogdon is just as proficient at being a SG.djy2j wrote:I've never been a fan of the 2 PG lineup.

Re: Bledsoe wants out!
He also hasn't worked all that well with 1 PG or 3 PG lineups. Maybe he needs to try a 4 PG lineup.djy2j wrote:I've never been a fan of the 2 PG lineup.

Re: Bledsoe wants out!
Brogdon is 6'5 with a 7'0 wingspan. He's called the point guard because he's the smallest guy on the court. He could just as easily play the 3. This isn't a Bledsoe/Knight situation. Or a Bledsoe/dragic/IT situation. Brogdon is a low usage player anyways, he plays off the ball a lot, with Antetekounmpo handling the ball.djy2j wrote:I've never been a fan of the 2 PG lineup.

Re: Bledsoe wants out!
Bled litterally had his best year playing alongside Dragic. But, as others have said, it's really not about that with the Bucks. It's about putting guys around Giannis who can help him.djy2j wrote:I've never been a fan of the 2 PG lineup.

Re: Bledsoe wants out!
Listen to the Lowe podcast with Kevin arnovitz today. They talk about Bledsoe's fit in Milwaukee. They like the fit, but don't think they will give up Brogdon for him. Although Lowe doesn't think it should be a non starter for trade discussions.

Re: Bledsoe wants out!
Brogdon, Thon or '18 1stR+. If MIL doesn't put any of those assets on the table, they don't want Bledsoe, which is fine. Someone will.
I feel like there is a three way trade to build between PHX, MIL and CHI. Bledsoe and RoLo around to the Freak could do very well. No need to jettison Jabari/Thon/Brogdon if they are willing to spend two first round picks.

Re: Bledsoe wants out!
Bucks wouldn't give up Thon. I'd do Bledsoe and Tyson for Brogs, Monroe and a future 1st.

Re: Bledsoe wants out!
We would all love that trade. We would have to bring back a lot more salary, though. I don't think Milwaukee can bring in 9 million more.ShelC wrote:Bucks wouldn't give up Thon. I'd do Bledsoe and Tyson for Brogs, Monroe and a future 1st.

The Phoenix Bucks! If you include Knight on our roster, we'll be close to half a roster full of former Bucks.

Re: Bledsoe wants out!
They'd have to include Henson/Delly/Snell in the deal. I wouldn't be opposed to it. Would prefer to take back Henson even with 2 years left on his deal. No need for Snell or Delly. At least Monroe would come off the books. I probably wouldn't include the Miami pick.

Re: RE: Re: Bledsoe wants out!
I really really want Dragan to pan out, but his numbers are dog crap in compared to Thon's. I thought they would be better this year, because we see him playing better, but his advanced numbers haven't improved at all. Perhaps that's partially due to the first 3 terrible games of the Suns, but I'm not so sure.carey wrote:No. I like our own really tall guy that shoots 3s & plays defense.Aztec Sunsfan wrote:Would you send Mia 1st to make up for him?

Re: Bledsoe wants out!
Eh, he just needs to start shooting better and I think he will. That will come with confidence. His defense is already showing itself to be invaluable. Plus he's still extremely young whereas Thon could be as old as 24 or 25 already if you believe the legitimacy of the yearbook photo that showed him graduating HS in 2010.

Re: Bledsoe wants out!
Absolutely. But Chandler is prohibitive to them unless they also unload Henson/Teletowar.ShelC wrote:Bucks wouldn't give up Thon. I'd do Bledsoe and Tyson for Brogs, Monroe and a future 1st.
PHX out: Bledsoe - Chandler - '18 2ndR.
PHX in: Brogdon - MIL '18 1stR - Monroe/Teletovic/Henson.
MIL out: Brogdon - '18 1stR - Monroe - Teletovic/Henson.
MIL in: Bledsoe - RoLo/Mirotic.
CHI out: RoLo/Mirotic.
CHI in: Chandler, PHX '18 2ndR.
Milwaukee gets Bledsoe for Brogdon and they can choose between Rolo or Mirotic, depending on what they want to put on the court and what salary they want to send out (Henson has one extra year over Teletovic, who is expiring next season).
Re: Bledsoe wants out!
I would do it without the first. But the Bucks have to throw in more salary to make it work. Bledsoe and Tyson for Brogdon, Monroe and Telly works. I think Telly is an undesirable contract for them right now, but I am not sure. I think that trade make Milwaukee significantly better immediately. It gives the Suns a young piece, some cap relief after this year (not that they really need it) but they take on the rest of Telly's deal even though there is no real place for him here. Too bad the NBA doesn't let teams take the salary in the trade, but leave the player where he is.O_Gardino wrote:We would all love that trade. We would have to bring back a lot more salary, though.
