You trade a guy you likely were never going to resign due to cost and get a couple cheap guys on rookie contracts and an expiring. Even the worst case is paying a couple guys next to nothing to rot on the bench for a couple years.
I disagree. Nobody ever stated that they would never resign Redick. He could have been resigned or just let him go as an expiring for more cap space. But, Magic got that cap space back in Udrih, thus the Magic got the better end of the deal because they got both cap space and two promising players. But, I doubt Lamb will be kept as he looks worse than Harper out there.
Low risk, high reward. Because, even if Lamb and Harris don't make the cut, the Magic still got their cap space.
you know, the Magic still can sign Redick in the off-season. They can make offers like all the other teams.
FWIW
That's a very good point. Granted there maybe a bit of bridge burning from the trade, but JJ strikes me as a professional.
