TI: Redd for Marion
Posted: Wed Jan 2, 2008 8:26 am
If something like this were available, I think we'd have to go for it:
Bucks trade: Michael Redd, Bobby Simmons, Charlie Villanueva
Bucks receive: Shawn Marion, Joe Smith, Thabo Sefalosha, Alando Tucker
Suns trade: Shawn Marion, Alando Tucker
Suns receive: Ben Wallace, Tyrus Thomas, Charlie Villaneuva
Bulls trade: Ben Wallace, Tyrus Thomas, Joe Smith, Thabo Sefalosha,
Bulls receive: Michael Redd, Bobby Simmons
why for the bucks: Marion is one of the few players in league who could single handedly salvage our defense. He also would bring in a new excitement to the team with his hard nosed play and high flying dunks, and I think he would be such value that Herb wouldn't mind doling out huge money for an extension for him if he's our only very highly paid guy. Plus, this deal sends out two of our biggest malcontents and replaces them with hard working, team oriented, defensive minded players (two of which have wisconsin connections as well).
why for the suns: They are easily the biggest if in this trade, as they would need to believe that Wallace would be an integral part of htier defense to do this deal. If they think he could make them a legitimate two way threat though then this could be a great deal for them, as they would solve the marion issue once and for all while replacing him with two young power forwards as well. Furthermore, to take the risk on wallace, they would have to be VERY high on Tyrus and CV.
why for hte bulls: No brainer deal for them, and I think they probably would give up a bunch more to do this deal too. I can see someone as valuable as Ben Gordon, Andres Nocioni, or Kirk Hinrich being put into the mix in this deal (especially if CV goes to Chicago instead of Phoenix), and maybe that player coudl provide enough incentive to make phoenix do this.
