Bucks fan here I see that you guys wouldnt mind redd on your team as i see a lot of ppl think he would fit perfect in your system...so with that said what would you guys give up for him or what type of deal would you see if you were trying to get him??

I've always thought Redd and Sessions for #6 overall, Tim Thomas and Cat Mobley made a lot of sense for both teams.

Given Redd's current salary, I wouldn't expect the Clippers to pursue him since he doesn't do anything to solve the Clipper problem at PG.

Who cares if Redd does not solve our PG problems? At least he solves another problem, the other position that makes up the backcourt.

Having a four of Redd, Thornton, Brand, and Kaman would make us pursue a PG come draft day (if we try to trade up) or free agency. We'd be looking pretty damn good, too.

Unfortunately Redd doesn't solve the Clippers need for a dominant backcourt player to team with Brand. Redd is due to make 15.8, 17 and 18.3 (player option) over the next 3 seasons. I don't see Redd as a top 15 player in the league to justify that type of salary. The Clippers would be willing to pay that kind of money for a healthy Arenas but they sure wouldn't for Redd. His production is around what Maggette provided last year, 22.7 ppg, 36% on 3, 130 3 pointers made.

Giving up Mobley and Thomas and the #6 pick gives up the majority of the Clipper 3 point shooting, although both had off years last season. I'd rather keep both and use the pick on an outside shooter given that both Mobley and Thomas have only 2 years left on their contracts versus 3 for Redd.
