Obviously we have no use for Bledsoe so I’m not interested in him being traded to the C’s and it would be hard to do anyways.  I just think it’s crazy how he is going about this.

Take a look at his latest tweet: https://twitter.com/ebled2/status/922201984211369984

Whoa.

Can you blame him? The Suns would struggle in the G-League this season. Nobody on that roster even looks like they are trying outside of Mike James who is lucky he has a job.

The Suns have that worst record in the league spot all locked up, and nobody else is even close.

Lol talk about direct!

But I don't blame him. That team is an absolute dumpster fire right now.

I'd love to see him on the Spurs, though that'd probably never happen due to most likely requiring them to trade a Parker for him.

makes a lot of sense on the Cavs, but obviously not worth the BKN pick.  I wonder if they could somehow work out a trade for Bledsoe and some other piece for Shumpert, Frye, and the BKN pick.  Not sure what that other piece would be though that might be worth BKN.

They've been outscored by 92 through 3 games. I'm shocked.

If you're Milwaukee, would you give up Greg Monroe's expiring + a first for him?

This is the problem with going all in on youth.  They are probably the worst defensive team in the league.  By the time this team turns the corner -if that ever happens - the coach and GM will both be long gone.

Easily yes. Bledsoe would be a great fit for the Bucks, and their 1st won't be that good.

At this point they should just sell off their veterans Bledsoe and Chandler for more picks.

At least they have a couple pieces to build around in Booker and Jackson. Warren looks promising and it remains to be seen with Chriss and Bender.  So glad we have Brown over Bender.

Yes, a 1st and cap relief is a good return at this point for a guy who clearly wants out. There's not a huge market right now for point guards, and the Suns don't have much leverage to ask for a bigger return.

I would as well, for both sides. I think this improves Milwaukee significantly. They can move Brogdon off the bench as the third guard, playing either guard spots.

Suns get an expiring then can also trade and get more assets with along with a 1st. I think it's a win-win.

Man that franchise is cursed. Thomas wanted out, Dragic wanted out, the Morris twins wanted out now Bledsoe. Booker is gonna sign a rookie max then request a trade halfway through his contract.

What a wreck of a franchise.

Lol always trying to help the cavs. They already have Rose, wade, smith and, at some point, IT, but they should add another guard?

It’s only easy if the Bucks are willing to pay the luxury tax next year or are willing to let Parker walk if he gets an offer in free agency of more than about $13 million.  Taking on Bledsoe would push the Bucks much closer to needing to make such a tradeoff decision.
