Seems like a pretty good trade for both sides. If Bledsoe tries.
Brogdon could easily win the sixth man of the year award.
Haven't seen Monroe in while, but last I saw him he was being misused by the Bucks. I think that he should still have some good play in him and hopefully the change of scenery will help get him going. I liked Monroe as a Piston and hope he makes this trade pay off for the Suns.Not a good trade for Phoenix. They got a salary dump and a couple late picks.
Then again, had they not aggressively torpedoed Bledsoe's trade value prior to moving him, they would have gotten a much better return.
Sounds like they are rerouting him elsewhere.Haven't seen Monroe in while, but last I saw him he was being misused by the Bucks.

Easily? Nope. Might be in the running but there are a few guys just as good if not better.
Maybe not easily but his numbers are similar to previous winners. His efficiency numbers are off the charts for a second year PG. The real question is how many minutes will he receive and can he still be as good with a more limited role His PER is 16.5 which is outstanding.
Good. he's a very good player. Anything that weakens the chances of the Cavs I like and this certainly qualifies.
Jordan Clarksons stats are better and has a PER of 21.7
Tyreke Evens' stats are even better than both of them and has a PER of 23.2
So no shame in coming 3rd

Suns don't need him though. He will only stunt the growth of their young frontcourt players. Len, Bender and Criss could all lose PT.
Essentially, they trade a good player at a position where they have little depth for a mediocre player at a position where they have legit young talent. The picks are little more than minor assets because the first will likely be in the low 20s.
Am I reading this right?
"Milwaukee will send its 2018 first-round pick to Phoenix if it lands between Nos. 11 and 16. If the pick carries beyond 2018, the Suns get a loosening of protections in 2019 (Nos. 4 to 16), 2020 (Nos. 8 to 30) and 2021, when the pick would come unprotected. The Suns will get the Bucks' 2018 second-round pick if it lands between Nos. 48 and 60. Otherwise, the Bucks keep the pick."
It looks to me like Phoenix likely won't even get the pick until 2020. So hopefully Milwaukee sucks by then but there's a good chance it's a late 1st rounder and 3 drafts from now.
