These Redd trades are horrible, but here's one more.

Ok looking at some of the other Redd trades it's pretty obvious people are trying to pillage the Bucks roster. That's not going to happen.
I know most of us not living in Beer City don't get a chance to watch the Bucks much but that doesn't mean the guy isn't pulling down 23pts 5rebs and 4 dimes a game.
Now if I'm the Bucks I'm looking to trade Redd for another Star in the league, or a Ray Allen type package of a high lotto pick, a cap reliever and a solid role player. So I've got two ideas.
The Ray Allen type deal is a little harder to come up with. Because who has a high lotto pick but is in the win now mode? I thought of Miami but the T-Wolves own that pick if it isn't a lottery pick. This is more likely to happen on draft day.
But Redd for another star is easier to come up with. Rumor is Tmac is unhappy in Houston. Obviously you don't trade 7'6" Centers who are actually good. So here it is.
Redd and Desmond Mason for TMAC

Redd's number are pretty much a push with Tmac's but since Redd doesn't play much D they are throwing in Mason.
Tmac loves this trade because if he actually makes it to the playoffs with the Bucks no one really expects the Bucks to make it past the first round so Tmac should feel right at home with the low expectations.
All kidding a side I think it is fair value for both teams. Tmac's contract is freakin huge and I could see the Bucks possibly not going for this due to Tmac's back problems but Redd only played something like 57 games last year as well. But the Bucks would actually land a bonafide Superstar something they haven't had in a while.
