Good for him. He should have some fun. Bucks seemed to be a top likely destination in the Shopping Bledsoe thread. Vivi first to call it on Page 1
For those who like to follow guys who get sources correct ... here's a PHX media dude that was the first to make a @zeeshan2 post on Page 3 in the Suns Aggressively Shopping Bledsoe thread 10 minutes behind Woj on this, though
Do you guys think Monroe will get a buyout? Not sure how Phoenix would use him...unless they trade Chandler. Just saying though, i don't think the Rockets would go after him.
PHX was asking for guys like Thon, Brogdon, Ntilikina, and Hernangomez...they ended up with Monroe they had no leverage...Bledsoe will be poppin bottles tonight after finally escaping that situation down in PHX
This seems great for the Bucks. Not only do they get Bledsoe, they finally dump Monroe. That's two wins for them. I never thought Thon Maker would amount to anything. From a Suns standpoint, I guess this terrible return for Bledsoe shows how little leverage they had.
From the PHO guy, who sourced discussions early, he was quick on 1st day. @malakas @Deuce @The Cat (I know you like to follow ppl who get sources right. Seems to be a good PHX guy.) Tweets from the first day
I think it's folly to judge trades like this a vs. b. It's like the Kings trade of Cousins last year... ultimately it was a pretty good trade imo. Made even better if you really like Fox, since it enabled them to suck more, which let them keep their pick and draft Fox. Yada, yada. I don't think Bledsoe was useful as an NBA player to the Suns in any way. I'm not sold on what he'll bring to the Bucks. But it wasn't a lot to give up to get a potential impact player, for sure. Monroe sucks, but he might be better than the Suns PFs, lol. And he's an expiring contract. Will he be re-tradeable at the deadline i wonder?? Might be able to pick up a draft pick. Suns could have gotten more if they traded Bledsoe 12 months ago, but they didn't.
Yep, that would make sense too. I just hope he doesn't go to San Antonio if that's the case but eh...i can see that coming.
Damnit!!! So close to get Kidd fired and now he gets another chance. FFS! Bad trade for the Bucks. Bledsoe isn't worth a lottery pick that they will be getting. Also I feel bad for Monroe. He was by far the best center in the roster. Well..at least it could have been much worse. Especially if Hammond was still here.
Weird response. He knew he was on the trade block... not exactly a THRILLED sounding response. No biggie though. I actually don't love the trade, I don't like the Bucks giving up that pick. They should just bide their time and wait for a better, less injury prone guard or someone who fits better. Tyson's buyout coming in 3... 2...
