CBS: Deal on the table: LRMAM, 1st for Redick.

JJ wants 4 years 40 million? Oh my god...

no wonder Jennings wants the max

Bogut was angling for Moute to be in Golden State after he got dealt there. If Klay is on the table, Moute plus our first for Klay could get things started.

This would be kind of funny from a board reaction. Would they be happy that we traded for a young big solid SG? OR would they be livid at Hammond b/c he could've picked Klay 2 years ago and now we had to give up a pick to get him here? I'm guessing the latter here.

I'd be for that move though.

But we got 2 months of Stephen Jackson instead of Klay! Totally worth it.

I don't think there is any way for Redick to succeed in Milwaukee if we give up 1st and have to pay him $10 mil. He'll be the most hated Buck by this board. The new whipping boy. 1st impressions are really important.

This is why "expirings" are so overrated. You aren't JUST paying for a rental (with a solid draft pick), you are essentially committing to paying free agency money in the future. I would love to have Redick shooting corner 3s for the Bucks but not for 10 damn million dollars a year. ON TOP OF OUR FIRST.

[JayMKE]

Orlando fans are probably just as delusional JJ Redick btw, reading their trade speculation thread. They seriously think they get 1sts and young players for 3 months of Redick. I think I saw Evan Turner + a 1st. Most aren't even happy with Moute + a 1st. They are even worse than the Monta GSW fans.

Huh? Expiring contracts have value to teams who want to shed salary in the following year -- they have value expressly because the team that wants them will not be committed to paying them beyond that year. Since that's not why we'd be getting Redick, nobody is trumpeting his expiring contract as added value.

The Bucks are active. General manager John Hammond plays the laid-back, gee-shucks Midwesterner. But he likes the trade game. He has shown an interest in Orlando Magic shooting guard J.J. Redick, but the Magic are not enamored yet with anything the Bucks have offered.

Bucks forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute is one option, but Orlando does not like his contract. But the Magic aren't interested in the remainder of Mbah a Moute's contract – two years, $8.97 million. There is also interest around the league in Bucks center Ekpe Udoh, who is still on his rookie deal.

The Magic have wanted to know Redick's future price. Hoping for a hometown discount, Orlando is not willing to pay much above what he makes now ($6.19 million this season), and Redick wants a significant raise – close to $10 million a season. Orlando continues to take calls on Redick's availability, and the Magic are looking for at least a first-round pick.

[JayMKE]

They seriously want more than Moute and a 1st. Is there another player more overrated than JJ Redick? It's like he's at Duke all over again. I honestly cannot believe this is even being discussed, the guy is not a starter in this league and he's nearing 30 AND he's an UFA.

[HaroldinGMinor]

I read that as they want a first round pick - not a player AND a first round pick.

Redick makes 6+mil they have to take a player back, what they want is a pick and an expiring contract

Fat Sam and a pick?
Beno and a Pick?
MJD and Przy and a pick?

[paulpressey25]

I don't understand why Afflalo's name doesn't come up unless the Magic consider it a non starter.

Would much rather overpay for him. Bigger, more athletic, under contract.

I feel like you're underrating Redick a lot more than people are overrating him.

Agreed, I think the Magic should trade both as well as Nelson. Get the most ping pong balls and have the most cap room. Orlando can win in free agency where as we can't. Fresh from the Magic board...
