"The Milwaukee Bucks and former Ohio State Buckeye player Michael Redd have reportedly grown disenchanted with one another, and Redd is on the trading block.

And judging from the comments of local Cavaliers fans, they would love the chance to add Redd to the roster, believing it might provide a sense of calm after LeBron James stated publicly that tweaks needed to be made to the roster to get him some help. -- The Akron Beacon-Journal"


didn't know if you already knew this but felt the need to post it.

I read it earlier today, but as a fan, I really don't want Redd. He's seriously overpriced, he's a chucker and he doesn't play defense.

if you could get him at a discount i'm sure you would make a play for him , and i'm pretty sure you would of wanted him when you was playing boston , i know lebron would of wanted him.

I think Redd is a good match....sure he doesn't play defense...but would you try hard if u were playin for the bucks?
I dono I think this season you can look at his stats and w.e. and throw em away. He is a competitor but when you keep on losing it definitely effects players and the way they play.
He would be the best shooter on our team, in fact team USA has him almost locked in on their team because they consider him one of the best shooters in the league.
Our defensive system could cover up for his bad D, but I think with another summer of Team USA and being along side LeBron we will see an inspired Redd.
He is Buckeye, and was probably our number one SG signing attempt before he resigned with the bucks and left us with larry pubes.
He is a lil pricey, but if we can get him for a Gasol give away, or even a lil more. I take that trade.
He gives us the scorer the Cavs need so that our offense can function and so LeBron will stay in CLE

I wanted Gibson during the Boston series. Unfortunately it was not to be.

Surprise, surpirse! TheOUTLAW doesn't like a trade involving the Cavs, never thought I'd see that in my life time... oh wait.

The Cavs have very little to offer teams besides our expiring contracts, so if we can get a player who is of the caliber of Michael Redd we should be dancing with joy. I mean, we had WALLY SZCZERBIAK starting at SG in the playoffs.

We are not in a position to be picky with who we acquire... I'd rather have Michael Redd's poor defense and dynamic offensive game than Wally or Sasha playing there.

Our defense isn't really the issue anyways, it is the horrible offense and the pressure on LeBron to make everything happen.

If you asked LeBron, don't you think he would want Redd pretty badly?

Redd is probably one of the few high profile players without major character issues that the CAVs could obtain. If his numbers hadn't been going down for the last two seasons, Redd probably wouldn't be available.
It all comes down to what the CAVs would have to give up to get him which greatly limits my enthusiasm.
