Multiple ballhandlers is NEVER a bad thing and a necessity assuming some of them can play off-ball, especially for offensive anchors who can't shoot.
Nobody is suggesting that Brogdon is the better overall player, just that what Bledsoe offers doesn't significantly outweigh what Brogdon brings to the team.
Of course, Giannis needs another creator - we all can agree on that. But, Bledsoe ain't it.
I don't look at it like that, though.
Its easier to replace what Brodgon does via the draft/FA than what Bledsoe would bring.
Its really hard to hit on half court creators in the draft/FA than 3 + D.

why the fukk has no one hired Sam Hinkie yet?
The Suns should have hired him yesterday. Unless they show that they have some sort of plan in motion, they cannot bet on Devon Booker staying.
Especially if they fukk up this Eric Bledsoe situation (either by publicly feuding with him or trading him someplace equally terrible).

Even if that were to be true, that's largely negated by the specific roster they would need to put around a Giannis/Bledsoe duo. Basically, you're taking a step forward with trading a type of player which is easier to find, with one who isn't - but taking a step (or even more) back with the type of players you'd need to surround them with, and the limited lineups you can use when they're both on the floor.
Bledsoe's not worth it. I don't think it's the wrong move, it's just a sideways one. They fix one problem, but create another problem.
They have 8-9 years of control over Booker pretty much and he’s been open up until this point about wanting to be a Sun for life.
They’re gonna be okay..just move bledsoe and play the young guys.
But Bron didn't need a Bledsoe. He needed a half court creator that also creates for himself without needing a ridiculous amount of space, Bledsoe is scoring and creating off PnRs that Giannis is not going ton be in the majority of, and Giannis will be forced to stand in a corner and watch without contributing if so. That's how you end up with a my turn, your turn offense. The type of half court creator Giannis needs will have to have a reliable J, especially off pullups.
I could be wrong though

Considering the fact that Bledsoe’s knees are ticking timebombs and his game is dependent on his athleticism, I wouldn’t bother going for him if I were the Bucks. As it’s been said in here, the Bucks needs spacing and Jabari is still due to come back so he could still be the 2nd option that they need. Giving up Brogdon doesn’t seem like a good move right now.
This is essentially the...
Kyrie/Bron
Wade/Bron
Fultz/Simmons
arguments but I think in the case of Bron/Giannis, they are so good that you're overemphasizing the lack of roster flexibility it'd create.

Why can't they run 1-4 PnR all day?
I agree that Bledsoe isn't the utmost ideal ISO/PnR guy you want but we can sit here and dream all day waiting for the Bucks to add one because they don't grow on trees.
I think the 1-4 PnR wouldn't be the best use of Giannis' talent, although it WOULD be the best use of Bledsoe's talent. It could work, but I just think there's a better piece to be had. If they package Brogdon/Jabari together I think they can find that extra star piece
Even Bron had to sacrifice his best use for the greater good
Who do you think Brodgon/Jabari could net? Seems like slim pickings IMO.

Not quite sure. But if Sabonis/Oladipo is all that was needed to get PG, I think if they wait long enough something could come up
