"He can score 37 every night and he controls the game for them," Jordan said of Redd, who did just that in a win over Indiana on Thursday. "He is a major weapon to contend with. We did some things up there last time that helped us without Redd but the things we did last time probably won't work this time."
Got me thinking, plus the recent discussion of Grunfeld (who we can imagine is a fan of Redd).
So, here goes (this checks out in the Trade Checker):
MKE GIVES:
Michael Redd
Charlie Villanueva
1st Rd Pick
WASHINGTON GIVES:
Caron Butler
Nick Young
Darius Songaila
Why for MKE? Easy; nets us an All-Star caliber SF, nice backup PF, and in Nick Young our SG of the future. Breaks up our backcourt.
Why for WASHINGTON? Certainly this is less easy to understand but perhaps they can be sold on the idea that Redd is more or less = Butler, that CV has a higher upside then Songaila. Plus a front line of Blatche/CV could be effective down the road. And the 1st rd pick is more or less = N. Young. Also the prospect of an Arenas/Redd backcourt is pretty huge.
MKE:
Mo/Ivey
Young/Bell
Butler/Simmons
Yi/Songaila
Bogut/Gadz
WSH
Arenas/Mason
Redd/Daniels
Stevenson
Jamison/CV
Haywood/Blatche
