Found it quite amusing. Now if only that talk could translate into "Oh ****, guess I gotta really play now." We could all be happy.

Let the Redd bashing begin.

He should be stun. Charlie Bell told him he read on Realgm the team was building around Magic Sessions.

As much as I have disliked the way Redd has played the past couple of years. He does seem like the type of player that will listen to coach Skiles and change his game around for the better of the team. I of course believe that some habits of his will never be changed no matter what the situation or who the coach is. It will be great to see him play with a PG not named Mo Williams. I would be stun if his game does not change for the better this season.

Great title, well done.

I thought with the rebuilding of the team and the changing of coaches and the organization moving in different ways, I thought I might be gone, too," Redd added. "Hey, I'm here."

When the team is rebuilt Mike, you will be gone. We're simply in the race for a middling season and hopes for an 8th seed, same old same old.

Was also surprised Hammond didn't go for a full rebuild like Pritchard and Presti have done. I've seen people praising Hammond for starting to clean up the Harris mess, but he hasn't really started to clean anything up yet.

I guess he's going to give this group until January to show promise. If they don't show signs of being a #5-6 seed then I would expect to see the clean up really begin.

Hammond has already corrected a lot of Harris' mistakes. You should take your post padding quest to the Cavs board.

Yeah it's a little odd that a Cavs fan would care about Redd or the Bucks at this point. I don't give two **** about the Cavs.

What's even weirder is he keeps popping up in threads asking the same questions over and over again even though they've been answered numerous times. Oh well.

Back to Redd, I'm happy Hammond made what I believe was the smart choice in keeping Redd and dealing Mo. But now it's up to Redd to make good on the faith Hammond and Skiles have bestowed in him. If he can't get with the program, he may be the next one to go.

Still plenty of time in the offseason, Michael, don't press your luck. You might land on a whammy

magpies · Post #13 » by **magpies** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 2:03 am

I am hoping that since Mo has gone and that our PGs will look for open shooters and create chances, this will allow everyone to get involved in the offense, hopefully Redd is willing to play with taking less shots and sharing the ball with RJ and Bogut.
Redd, Bogut and RJ should deliver us into the playoffs

So I'm assuming I wasn't the only to LOL when first reading the wiretap headline?

aboveAverage · Post #16 » by **aboveAverage** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 2:38 am

When I saw the wiretap headline, I assumed Michael Redd was talking about the olympic team. I was stun to see him talk this boldly and candidly about his own team. He usually gives the textbook right answers. I like when players are honest.

REDDzone · Post #18 » by **REDDzone** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 2:46 am

If Skiles is half the hard ass everyone claims he is, I can't wait 'til he sees Redd talking to the ref on one end while his team is playing 2-2 defense on the other side of the court.

And the whole not launching buzzer shots thing, that should also be an interesting conversation, assuming Skiles isn't just a media tough guy like LK.

It would be interesting how much it does affects his FG% if he does start attempting them. He probably just won't go near the inbounds pass anymore.

I don't get why you guys bitch about him shooting it "after the buzzer". Most "superstars" in the league just get the inbound and walk straight to the bench to look like cool ****. I know it probably makes the most sense to attempt a shot, but not everyone in the league hoists up a shot at the buzzer. How many times do you see Kobe or Paul do that?
