It's only been a few minutes but seems like it is taking forever to see what we getting back

This is like when someone takes a dump on an airplane and you're seating close enough to the bathroom to get stuck smelling it.

I'm honestly disappointed. We got more from Dragic by a long shot and we weren't as pressured to move Bledsoe right away. Why not wait until December 15th until more of the league became tradable?

Yea I really thought they accepted a Brogdon based deal because Ulis n James really struggling but I guess that giving Knight his fair shot at regaining form/value might be true. You guys are always on top of the pick ranges, this pick projected where ?

Will be outta the lottery for sure, at that point, it doesn't even matter.

If Milwaukee stays healthy it will be around 20-25. If Giannis gets hurt anything is possible.

McDonough is a terrible excuse for a GM.

Dragic is a way better player. He was 3rd team all-nba, and a lot of teams needed a good PG at that time. Bled has peaked as a non-allstar, and there are only a few NBA teams who want an average 28 year old PG. They mostly either have a better vet, or a young guy they want to build with going forward.

I'm disappointed that we got such a low pick, but it is an expiring contract. If we can do something good with the cap space, it's still a good trade. Similar or better to the Markieff trade, depending on how we use that space.

I can't wait to see Bledsoe playing for Kidd. Kidd will pull his hair out.

OH WAIT

I think this puts us at 6 picks in the upcoming draft.

Dragic wasn't an All-Star either. And Bled is still a 20/5/5 guy that has a year left on his deal. That is worth something in my opinion. I just don't know what the rush was.

they knew the longer it took, the longer it would be an embarrassment to Sun's management

i'm glad it was for a first round pick rather than a mediocre player.
it will work out if we can package some picks for a higher pick
though moving up is never easy to pull off

I think they waited until they were convinced they were not going to get any better offers. There must be some people in Cleveland kicking themselves right now.

The 1st rd pick is lottery protected.

I hope all players involved in this trade fail their physicals and this trade gets rescinded.

Pick is supposedly lottery protected too. Awesome job, Ryan. Truly.

Dude. That's silly. If he fails his physical we'll really get nothing. Not even cap space and a middling first.
