Radmanovic for Gadzuric

The Lakers obviously big men right now.

The Bucks need a guy who could play the 3 and be an offensive force alongside Redd, so Simmons can come off the bench.

These guys have very similar bad contracts. Both have 4 more years, Gadzuric will make a little more each year, which saves the Bucks some money.

Thoughts?

I think the Lakers need to get a F/C if they add additional big man. Otherwise, that player will become useless once Bynum returns. Gadzuric doesn't have the skill set necessary to play the 4 in the triangle. I don't think giving up one of our best shooters is a great move unless it's for a F/C that can eventually play alongside Bynum or Kwame.

Radmanovic is pretty one-dimensional, but that's still one more dimension than Gadzuric. LA is better off just playing Mihm more.

This idea has some merit, but Vlad has decent value, while Gadz is one of the worst contracts in the league. I don't think the Lakers should start sacrificing value for temporary roster issues.

Rather just trade for Randolph if I want an offensive player.

Id make this trade if I were the Bucks. We don't play Gadz AT ALL, and we can afford to lose him. We play Voskhul over him anyway, and could give Ruffin his minutes.

That said, I don't really like Radman. We have Yi who in his undeveloped state kind of plays like Radmanovich, but with better D, some post moves that are slowly developing, and a nice jumper. But I would do it just to shake things up. Forget where Radmanovich is from, but Bogut likes to tout his Croatian heritage.
