Re: 2017-18 Transaction Thread

Wouldn't getting rid of Henson's contract help you guys out?

Almost certainly, yes. Henson has been the Bucks best center so far, but obviously it's only been 4 games, and small stretches of great play from him before turning into a lazy piece of **** are pretty much the norm with him. I think getting out of his contract would definitely be a good thing, and if the rumors are to be believed, we've been pretty desperate to get out of it for awhile now.

Or is the front office so high on Brogdon?

According to Gery Woelfel, the front office is concerned by the foot injury he suffered back in college. Apparently it was so serious that some NBA teams removed him from their draft boards entirely. Still, our reluctance to include him to this point suggests that the front office remains high on him.

He was really good as a rookie, and he looks a lot more confident shooting off the dribble/creating off the dribble this season. I always believed he was pretty much a finished product already, but his play to start the season has me thinking there may be some untapped potential left in there.

Personally, my offer for Bledsoe would be Monroe's massive expiring contract and a protected 1st round pick or Delly + DJ Wilson (and no additional pick). If Denver wants to beat those offers, I'd probably let them.

Edit: I could also see a deal where Tyson Chandler and some salary on Milwaukee's end gets added.

Wouldn't Bledsoe kill their spacing all together? Don't think you can put a 30% 3p shooter with the rest of their lineup, especially for Brogdon.

That alone makes him a better fit in Denver IMO, they would have enough guys who can shoot around him plus they could really need his defense upfront.

Eh, Bledsoe isn't as good a shooter as Brogdon, but he's roughly a 37% 3 point shooter off catch-and-shoot opportunities the last two years; he should be good enough that with Middleton, Snell, and Thon, they'd have enough spacing.

But I think given their respective contracts, I'd rather have Brogdon, so the hope would be to end up with both of them; not subtracting Brogdon to add Bledsoe.

To no one's surprise Sixers don't pick up the option on Okafor. He will be an unrestricted free agent after this season. Hopefully kid can land somewhere decent whether it be in free agency or through trade.

Re: 2017-18 Transaction Thread

Sun's really handled that Bledsoe situation poorly. Almost going on a week since that tweet and hasn't played since and there isnt a timetable for the trade. Only really hurts them.
Similar to the Okafor situation. Sixers don't really want to do buyout because they don't want to give him up for nothing.
But they cannot expect to get a high return for him. They should have traded for early last year when they had the chance

Re: 2017-18 Transaction Thread

Speaking of Okafor, apparently Raptors tried getting him. 76ers said no because they wanted Covington too.

Wouldn't be surprised if deal was something like Joseph and one of their bigs for Okafor and Covington.

Re: 2017-18 Transaction Thread

Covington has played really good this year I don’t see the 76ers giving him up

Hahaha I've actually never been to Milwaukee before. I'm hoping to go up there for a game next season when the new arena opens.

Let's ****ing goooooooo. That's the exact deal I've been calling for.

Re: 2017-18 Transaction Thread

That was the best bet for him I’m anxious to see what they gave up. My guess is a First and a bad contact like teletovic
