MIL-ORL trade idea
Posted: Sat Jan 5, 2008 2:42 am
Ok, I very rarely post trades and Hedo is doing a fantastic job this year, I'd hate to see him go, but this is and idea based around the article stating that Milwaukee are putting most of their team on the trade plate, except for Yi and Bogut.
According to MIL fans, their biggest need is at SF.... so....
Orlando trades:
Hedo Turkoglu
Carlos Arroyo
Pat Garrity
Two 1st round picks
Orlando Receives:
Michael Redd
Milwaukee trades:
Michael Redd
Milwaukee receives:
Hedo Turkoglu
Carlos Arroyo
Pat Garrity
Why for Orlando:
To shore up the SG position. I'm hesitant to deal Hedo, as well as he's been playing this year. He's really been the spine of the team this season... however, this frees up Rashard Lewis to play permanently at SF, with Redd at SG.
A follow up deal would be required by Orlando to find a replacement PF, preferably one who can adequately defend and hit any open shots that are left from Howard being double teamed. Trade bait would be the expirings of Evans, Bogans and Dooling.
Another 'hole' remains at PG, where Nelson is more vulnerable without Arroyo and without Hedo's playmaking. I'd love to see Andre Miller or another equally capable PG in Orlando but they probably don't have the assets to do this deal and another for a PG... especially given the more pressing PF need if Turkoglu is gone.
Why for Milwaukee:
With their season starting to slip following losses such as the massive one to Detroit, this is primarily a cost-cutting deal. They essentially halve the money owed to Redd from their books at the end of the season with the two expiring deals of Arroyo and Garrity.
In addition they get a SF to plug the hole they have there who is playing almost as well as Redd. Hedo's playmaking ability helps Mo Williams play a little more off the ball, freeing him to score more.
They also get two 1st round picks out of the deal.
