No he would not.

I have been saying it for 2 years now and I will keep saying it.

Ridnour is a terrible basketball player.

Takes bad shots, does not penetrate, rarely makes the right pass and is beyond horrible on defense.

He is the definition of a player with empty statistics.

But okay, let's pretend this is not a problem.


The sample size is very small and we're missing our best shooter. Shooting is something that can be addressed at the trade deadline or something.
All I'm saying is that we shouldn't overreact and make a deal just because we're not shooting well right now.

I feel like he has become considerably worse this season.

He couldn't even stay in front of Derek Fisher right now.

Can we make a deal because there is still a major need at SG? Shved is the only player who can give any productive minutes there, and he's a rookie.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

I think the Hawks might be able to part with one of their shooters. With Jenkins in the waiting, they can afford to trade Korver/Morrow. Morrow has really had his minutes cut last couple of games. I would love to have him. Orlando is another team that has several good shooters and could afford to trade one

Luke Ridnour's ability went away with his Frodo Baggins haircut.

Was it Ridnour or Hinrich that got "Harry Potter" chants in college?

I am not sure if he is worse than last year. I think he is about the same. Last year we had Beasely out on the wing as well which meant that Ridnour's bad defense got masked alittle.

How quickly things change from last year. I want to keep JJ and want to ship Ridnour out. Sved should be in there right now instead of Ridnour. Sved is much better defensively, can create his own shot and can dish the ball too. He's a much better player.
