If the Bucks do make everyone except Yi and Bogut available like they're planning on doing, do you think we have a shot at him? I think he'd be worth it if we also trade Zach.
I doubt it though sadly.

No. Redd has the type of value where they would be justified in demanding young players or picks in return, both of which we either don't have the right mix of, or we shouldn't be giving up in the first place. Though it's an interesting notion that he's available, I think pursuing him is not in our best interest.

If Milwaukee holds a fire sale, sure, why not. But he'll cost us. I think he's a turbocharged Allan Houston (in that he provides some of the other stats that Allan never really provided, like rebounds for instance). I'd go after him... BUT, we are unlikely to land him without including our pick this summer, which I WOULDN'T do.

I meant trade Randolph to a different team but I doubt now that we have a chance at Redd mainly because Lee is our biggest piece and they would like him and do a deal with him included, but that's the thing...he's a PF...they're set with their big men. He won't be starting, I think they want and will just keep Yi at PF and Bogut at C...so they're probably looking for a guard or SF in return...a young one that is...plus a pick...and expiring contracts or ones that expire in 2 years.

Redd is a bit like Zach Randolph. He's an incomplete player with a max (or near max) contract. He still has value and other teams might outbid us.
At a minimum it would take our lotto pick, which I'm not sure I'd give up, on top of that, maybe Malik for salary, and some young players to balance salary (maybe Nate & Freddy).
Even then, Milwaukee might get more from Cleveland or Miami or some other team - it's possible.
But I don't really want him. He's a short term fix, and not enough of a fix.

No ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon

What about something like:
Randolph and Crawford for Redd and Simmons bad contract.
They could then move Yi to the SF position which is more of what he plays anyway and use Crawford to replace Redd.
Supposedly they offered Redd for Randolph a couple of years ago and the Blazers turned them down. Now they can have him.
Bogut Gadzuric
Randolph Villanuava
Yi Mason
Crawford Bell
Williams Ivey
That seems pretty okay for them. It probably is not quite fair for them but they do get two useful players for one good player and one bad contract.
