Toronto shouldn't be making those guys offers we need a young diamond in the rough type of player. One guy I really like is Thabo Sefolosha off The Thunder he's a very versatile SG/SF who has good handles and is a good defender. Redd I think will sign with a contender like Miami/Chicago/The Lakers/Clippers or somebody like that.
He signed a 1yr deal with the Suns this past season, I think everyone knew going in that they weren't competing for anything other than an 8th seed. Assuming that other teams automatically would throw money at him is presumptuous because he took vet min in PHX.
I don't want to see any more snot nosed kids around. I want some more vets and players in the league that know how it works and know how to be professionals. Other than D-Mart and Big Cat. [green font] we haven't got many other vets capable to playing to a high level [/green font]
I think spacing can't hurt, and you can't leave Redd just drifting around the 3 point line. He is getting back into the swing of things and could be a viable option I believe. Lower risk/hi reward scenario.
Shooters usually come at a premium in the league, and believe we could have him for half of what Korver or other shooters have commanded.
Thabo can't shoot....and he doesn't have handles. He defends very well... but he is not a drastic improvement offensively and we have a hard enough time trying to score as it is.
