i don't know how houston fans feel about their pf rotation, so this is contingent on them wanting an upgrade.

cleveland out
gooden
snow
2007 1st
2009 1st

in
redd

cleveleand gets their 2nd wing they've wanted to pair with lebron, make some noise in the east with lebron-redd-z-boobie

houston out
battier

in
gooden

gets a very productive pf to pair in the frontcourt with yao. bonzi is playing very well and makes battier expendable.

milwaukee out
redd

in
battier
snow
cleveland 2007 and 2009 1sts.

start rebuilding around bogut-yi-mo by downgrading in talent, but getting a better team player/defender in battier. snow expires after next season.

i don't think anyone gets screwed, but does someone need more? thoughts?

If the deal is Battier + Filler and 2 1sts for Redd, then the Rox would just cut Cleveland out and offer:

Battier + Snyder+ 2 1sts for Redd.

That give the Rox a line-up of: Alston/Redd/TMac/Hayes/Yao

Much better than: Alston/Wells/TMac/Gooden/Yao

No way will the Cavs give up Gooden and 2 firsts for Redd.

No chance in hell the Bucks do this deal. Battier and 2 late firsts for Redd? Redd + Lebron = scary.

I agree, this is the superior package. CLE would need to swap out Snow for Newble to compete. The Bucks don't need Snow around, with Bell locked into his deal and Ivey performing well.

that's a good point about cutting cleveland out, i didn't really think of houston as a destination for redd, but it makes sense.

in response to battier + two firsts + filler not enough for redd i disagree. bucks fans are all over the place with redd, some love him some hate him, and many want him moved. regardless of your opinion (i like him but not at a max contract) look at what other quality players have fetched recently:

iverson for miller & two firsts
ray allen for #5, west, and wally (negative value)

i think battier is a perfect player for the bucks, and can add other aspects to the game besides scoring which the bucks lack, and can do so at about $8-10 million less than redd per year. two firsts in the 20ish range do help in my opinion.

there might be better trades out there for redd, but i think this one is pretty solid.

Huh, why wouldn't we?

Yeah we would have to make some deal to bring in a backup PF, but who cares, Lebron + Redd!

Battier + Snyder+ 2 1sts for Redd.

i like this deal
