2017-18 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD PART 1 ALL OF AMERICAS FAVORITE TEAMS ARE BACK

prob true but it doesnt have to be as low as the cavs, like denver or the clippers are both likely to finish with worse records

Point Guard market is kinda saturated tho. Only a few 'win now' teams that really need one. Clippers, Nuggets, Spurs. maybe the pistons, bucks?

The Suns don't deserve Bledsoe or IT. Let them go fish among teams who'll give up draft picks.

bledsoe's contract is 2 years at a decent number but i'm not sure who gives up a decent pick for him.

McDonough has to get fired too. He had such a good thing going a few years back but has made every single possible wrong move since. seems pretty incompetent.

love to rubberneck the fall of the wunderkind lol

The Bucks are a team that has expressed interest in trading for Eric Bledsoe, according to league sources

makes a lot of sense.

The Bucks definitely need more pieces to put around Giannis. And they play in the East, so the leap to the Conference Finals is much shorter.

theyve got a bunch of mediocre players making bledsoe type money they cld package w a pick http://www.espn.com/nba/team/roster/_/name/mil/milwaukee-bucks

yeah that's a good fit

way to preserve trade value man

McDonough RE: Bledsoe's tweet: "He said he was at a hair salon... I didn't believe that to be true. He won't be with us going forward."

lol they are paying Larry Sanders 5 milli this year to smoke weed.

haha cmon Bledsoe. thats worse than "my account got hacked"

haha

Bucks don't have the assets to get Bledsoe. but I hope they can make it work anyway

their 2018 1st round pick plus cap filler like greg monroe wld prob get it done

doesn't seem like the suns are in a position to demand too much...

unless theres a hysterical bledsoe bidding war

they could hold steady, sit him and wait for an injury too

someone will prob offer them a first + a matching salary and theyll call it a day, makes too much sense

i wouldn't be surprised if they get basically nothing back

like two seconds, a halfway interesting guard and matching salary

possible def guess just depends on how many teams are interested, bledsoe is the type solid starter who can do everything pretty good that every team wants, defends two positions etc

If i'm suns im trying for Bledsoe / Chandler for Monroe / Henson and a 1st. Bucks get out of a the bad Center deal a year earlier and they pick up a starting center and a good starting PG.

that wld be a fn home run for the bucks, tho chandler isnt really on their timeline

if i were a gm id be tempted to take a shot at him even if i didnt really need him, good guy to have around, just doesnt like hair salons for whatever reason

i don't follow nba much but basically any player on a shitty team can tweet that they don't want to be there and they'll get traded? seems pretty sweet.

isnt a dealbreaker imo, now if he dioesnt like barber shops hes clearly a team cancer

remember the kings basically got buddy hield and a first for demarcus cousins in similar circumstances who is like twice as good as bledsoe

kings tho lol

boogie situation was insane 1 he was widely regarded as a cancer 2 they had better offers on the table but vivek thought hield was a young steph

its still crazy no one made a serious run at him hes out here putting up 45-15 on the reg

Phoenix Suns asked New York Knicks for Frank Ntlikina and Willy Hernangomez in exchange for Eric Bledsoe, league sources told @BBallInsiders

the knicks shd do it, feels like a classic knicks move

that second part is true but i'm not sure bledsoe is viewed as a non-cancer?

ive never heard anything bad about him except that he hates hair salons which is imo his choice and shd be respected

cavs season off to a good start

too many cooked players

classic formulation

tristan thompson has gone from dominating the glass in the nba finals to a non entity in 15 months

Tristan needs to be traded. Maybe GM Lebron could swing a deal for Tyson Chandler.

Steph out rebounded him and zapped his psyche.

the mojo killer

starting to think lebron might not be a great gm
