Two weeks after Suns point guard Eric Bledsoe voiced his displeasure with the Phoenix Suns organization, he will find himself on his way to a new destination. According to NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski, the Suns have traded Bledsoe to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for big man Greg Monroe, a lottery protected 1st Round pick in 2018 and a protected 2nd round pick in 2018.

The deal proves that the Bucks are all in on making a deep run in a weakened Eastern Conference alongside MVP-frontrunner Giannis Antetokounmpo. Bledsoe gives Milwaukee a veteran point guard who could potentially fill starters minutes on a young Bucks team.

Acquiring Bledsoe without having to give up any of their core young players makes this trade a great move for the Bucks. Moving Monroe helps the Bucks with their spacing problems, but does hurt their financial future as Monroe's $18 Million contract is set to expire following this season.

For the Suns, trading Bledsoe was a must. While the haul of Monroe and a couple late draft picks isn't the most ideal, it was likely the best move on the table. With Bledsoe's value diminishing with each passing day, the Suns needed to pull the trigger on a deal quickly. Milwaukee became an immediate target for Bledsoe as they needed a veteran ball-handler that fit their defensive scheme. Bledsoe provides all of that and should immediately impact this young Bucks squad. It might take a few weeks for Bledsoe to get back into game shape and to be ready to play starter's minutes, but he will provide a jolt this Bucks team has been in desperate need of.
