Eric Bledsoe trade rumors dominated much of the off-the-court discussion in the first couple of weeks of the NBA season, but when the focus next returns to what he can do on the court, he’ll be wearing the white and green of the Milwaukee Bucks.
The recently reported trade between Milwaukee and Phoenix will see Bledsoe join the Bucks with Greg Monroe heading in the opposite direction along with highly protected first and second round picks.
The news was first reported by Adrian Wojnarowski and Zach Lowe of ESPN.
