OUT – Eric Bledsoe and Tyson Chandler
IN – Malcolm Brogdon, John Henson and Greg Monroe

Why would the Bucks do this? Fear the Deer. They are a young team with plenty of promise and ready to make a big playoff push in the East this season. The trio of Khris Middleton, Jabari Parker once healthy and Greek Freak could use a solid vet PG in Bledsoe and a vet rebounding machine in Chandler. They also get rid of Henson’s contract as they have been aiming to do. Monroe does not fit in their long term plans and will likely walk after this year.

Why would the Suns do this? Malcolm Brogdon, reigning Rookie of the Year, would be a great replacement. Henson only has one additional year on his contract than Chandler and would contribute more to this young team especially defensively with his shot blocking. Greg Monroe could be tried out, waived or sent to a third team. He was included solely for monetary reasons to make this deal work.
