It’s not often you see a small market team be the one to jump in and acquire a player that is no longer content with his situation on a losing team. But that’s the position the Milwaukee Bucks found themselves in when they traded for point guard Eric Bledsoe early in the 2017-18 season.
In the deal, the Bucks sent big man Greg Monroe and two protected draft picks (a first-rounder and a second-rounder) to the Phoenix Suns. The original deal was given an A letter grade by Adam McGee.
