Eric Bledsoe, Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks just traded for Eric Bledsoe last season, but he simply hasn’t been the fit that many expected he’d be next to Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton for the young team.

Even though he is still a quality starting point guard, he’s also an expiring contract. And if the Bucks don’t have plans on brining him back next year, or signing him to a long-term contract extension during the summer, it might be smart of them to try and move him before this year’s NBA trade deadline.

Bledsoe would be a movable contract and player, but the question is should the Bucks do it. Losing Bledsoe will certainly hurt the team overall, and could be tough for them to do if they get off to a hot start and feel like they can make a run in a wide open Eastern Conference.

Safe to say that a Bledsoe trade very much depends on how the Bucks look out of the gate.
