I do understand your point, but haven't you basically posted the same thing about Redd numerous times?
Yes, and I want Redd gone.

I've seen Crawford do exactly what Redd has done numerous times....get hot and shoot the Knicks to victory or get cold and shoot them out....
He's a year younger than Redd and basically has averaged about 4.5 assists per game for the last five seasons....
And Jamal is half the price and we get David Lee and Balkman. Heck, I'd consider leaving Balkman out of the deal if that would get Isiah to do this one. Remember, there aren't many teams that can afford to take on Redd's contract and actually might consider it....the Knicks are a possibility.

No idea...I had the Heat broadcast on LP so I missed all of that. Supposedly Redd was getting over something last week too. I was tempted to say something about how it'd be interesting to see the Bucks play without Redd for a game in case he has a slight injury, but nah, that's just foolish. We don't have nearly the depth to mess around. If Simmons, Bell, Mason and Villanueva were all healthy and playing well I might be more curious.

It's the perfect trading pair....the Bucks and the Knicks....
Absolutely.
And I actually think it was good for the team as a whole (whether or not it will be good for Redd himself remains to be seen) for Redd to play poorly tonight and get benched by LK. I really think the point needed to be made that no one is bigger than the team, not even our highest paid player, Michael Redd.
I agree completely.. well written.

europa wrote:Comparing Harris to Thomas is pretty funny. Isiah tends to get blasted for his moves because he makes them without rhyme or reason -- not to mention he seems to have a thing for a 6-4 and under players (imagine that ). Isiah rarely makes a trade that is applauded because astute observers see he has no concrete idea of how to properly construct a team.
Harris, on the other hand, addresses team needs with nearly every move he makes. That's not to say he's perfect, he's not. But you can see a clear idea and pattern to what he's doing and it's about building the Bucks and improving depth and the overall talent base. Harris doesn't trade just to trade (ala Isiah); there's a clear plan involved to what he's doing.
The bottom line is Harris had little to work with and in a short time has build a foundation for the future that could have the Bucks becoming a true contending team in a short period of time.

AussieBuck wrote:For the posters here who think that getting rid of Redd will see more touches in the post for Bogut I'd highly doubt it. I counted 6 times after the first quarter including 3 times in a row halfway through the second quarter when Bogut had great position deep in the post and Mo looked at him and then passed off to a guard. 3 of those times all Bogut would've had to do was catch and dunk. This isn't a Bogut is great and deserves the ball more post, just an observation which I could make when actually getting a good look at a game on a TV rather than my PC.

On that note, Bogut does not have the trust of his teammates all the time. When he gets the ball in the post he needs to take it strong. After he was successful with his first two shots last night he got the ball a couple more times after that only to throw up "flip" shots. I think one of them was a left handed no look hook shot that didn't even touch rim. After that, he didn't see the ball anymore. He needs to be more patient and even be willing to pass it back out to the perimeter and reestablish position. When he does this, he usually will see the ball again and is in a better position.
