So what if Woelful has the truth and there are two teams ahead of the Bucks who would take Redd for their pick and some players? I've been reading all the posts and most people believe it would be either Memphis at 5, New York at 6, or the Clippers at 7.
Memphis:
Redd for #5, Miller, Cardinal or Collins (filler contracts).
Upside- we have #5 and #8, and we get Redd's short term replacement and a backup big man.
Downside- Is there one?
New York:
Redd for #6 and Marbury.
Upside- we get a HUGE expiring contract and the #6 and #8 picks.
Downside- Marbury will be making 22 mil so we would have to add another player or two to make this work.
Clippers:
Redd for #7, Mobley, Tim Thomas and/or Brevin Knight.
Upside- we have Redd's short term replacement and in a year from now Mobley, Simmons and TT's contracts would be 27 mil worth of expirings. Also #7 and #8.
Downside- We have to take TT back.
I personally would take the Clipper deal because it has a little bit of what we would want with the Knicks and the Grizzlies separately. Memphis gives us a solid replacement for Redd immediately but we get no future expirings. New York gives us a huge expiring but then we have no replacement for Redd. With the Clipper deal we get a semi-solid replacement for Redd and in a year from now Simmons, Mobley and TT would be 27 million dollars in expirings.
What deal would you take?
