Details aren't available yet. Could be Brogdon going West.

Interesting move albeit a predictable one and makes an Eastern rival at least a bit stronger.

Could be a great move for the Bucks depending on what they gave up. Bledsoe should be an excellent fit for that team.

In a vacuum, Bledsoe is better than Brogdon, but are we certain he's a better player on the Bucks and playing off Giannis?

On paper its a good move.

But we could also look back at this in a few years and think, "That was a desperation move. That was the moment the Bucks went from a young team with potential, to being a good-not-great team."

Depending on how well Bledsoe plays, I will continue to keep an eye on Giannis. There are ways this plays out with the Bucks becoming a powerhouse, but there are just as easily ways that play out with the Bucks becoming the new Pelicans.

Don't know how I feel about this trade. I've liked what I have seen from brogdon and have never been that high on Bledsoe. Always felt he had that ME not WE mentality.
But on the other hand I also felt like kyrie had that mentality and boy has he shown me to be wrong so far this season..

What a steal...

Monroe and a first ....wow!!!

Woj says it's for Monroe and a 1st. Bucks keep Brogdon as a backup/2 PG lineup guy. Good deal for them as they didn't seem to have much use for Monroe. Suns with no real leverage to get more for Bledsoe.

Good question.  I think he needs to improve his ability to hit the three off the catch and shoot.  Bledsoe can take some responsibility away from Giannis but can they coexist together?  He needs to contribute away from the ball for that team to maximize its potential.  Brogdon is an intelligent player and great 3 point shooter.  I wonder if they can pull off the trade without moving him.

I wonder if Monroe will get cut.  I think he would be great in Boston after clearing waivers.

In that case this is an awesome deal for the Bucks.  There is much less pressure on Bledsoe to be a consistent perimeter shooter.  Brogdon and Middleton provide the shooting while Bledsoe and Giannis can run the offense.  Bledsoe and Giannis will be a lethal transition combo.

For Monroe and a 1st, this is a homerun for the Bucks

Bucks could become our biggest competition in the East if Cleveland's slide continues.

They are looking really good on paper today.

I still prefer Okafor over Monroe ...but there are no indications yet he will be cut .. Still puzzled by this trade as PHX is packed in front court

That's interesting.

Agree... right now I put them #2 until Cleveland gets their head out of their.....
