The Milwaukee Bucks and Atlanta Hawks discussed a trade of Dennis Schröder before Eric Bledsoe became available in October.

The Bucks traded Greg Monroe and a future first round pick to the Suns for Bledsoe, which was a similar package that they discussed with the Hawks for Schröder.

Schröder signed a four-year, $70 million extension with the Hawks in 2016.

that would have been stupid considering they are a playoff team. i call BS!!

Why BS?  We obviously didn't take whatever they were offering.  I don't have any reason to doubt they picked up the phone and pitched us.  We didn't think the offer was good enough.

Didn't we try to Trade Teague to the Bucks a few years back? I think we wanted Middleton and they did not want to give him up.

Yeah I don’t understand what’s BS about it either.  I am sure the Bucks asked if Dennis was available and the Hawks said yes or no.  If, yes then I imagine Milwaukee floated some sort of package and the Hawks said no thanks.

I was saying BS due to the fact that they actually thought they would get Dennis for what they offered.  With them being a playoff team that would not have been a good pick.
