According David Aldridge of NBA.com, the Bucks have been talking to Bledsoe all summer.

"You hear that the Bucks have been talking Bledsoe all summer, as they should be. They have cap room, they have young, good role players on reasonable contracts (John Henson, Brandon Knight) and they have intriguing Draft picks in the future (their second-rounders, likely coming high in those rounds, will have much hidden value the next couple of years). While I doubt Phoenix would be interested in taking on Larry Sanders’ or O.J. Mayo’s big contracts, there are a lot of assets to put together for a sign and trade that would allow the Bucks to add Bledsoe to their Giannis Antetokounmpo-Jabari Parker base."

Although it would be rough at first, adding Bledsoe to Parker and Antetokounmpo could be a fantastic trio in the future.

Bledsoe averaged 17.7 points, 5.5 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game while shooting 47.7% from the field, 35.7% from beyond the arc and 77.2% from the free throw line last season. In his four-year NBA career, the 18th-overall pick in the first round of the 2010 NBA draft, has averaged 8.7 points, 3.4 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 44.5% from the floor, 32.7% from three and 75.8% from the charity stripe.
