Default Michael Redd and TJ Ford

Total Pipedream and not even sure if this is going to be feasible.

Its become quite obvious that we need a PG with court vision. Ability to score is a plus, but a great ability to break defenses down and to put people in the right position to score is the most important thing.

With that in mind, we trade:

Stackhouse/Daniels/Devin Harris to Milwaukee

for Michael Redd signed to a max contract and TJ Ford. Assuming Ford is healthy. The Bucks do the deal to bring in two nice young talents and hometown hero Harris back to Wisconsin. They get a temporary stop gap for Redd in Stackhouse. Mavs do the deal to get a consistent facilitator at the point and the consistent SG they need from the outside.

Your core rotation looks something like this:

Ford/Terry
Redd/Finley
Howard
Nowitzki/Van Horn
Dampier

Thoughts?

Default RE: Michael Redd and TJ Ford

It sounds too good to be true because it works so well for the mavs. If he recovers, we know that TJ is the creative point guard we need. Redd becomes the much needed consistent 2nd option and adds the outside shooting we need to keep teams from doubling and tripling Dirk like in the playoffs this year. However, I don't see why the Bucks wouldn't necessarily do this. Although I think TJ fits our team's needs more, Devin probably has more potential to be a big time player. The problem would be getting Redd but I don't see him wanting to stay on that sinking ship long so the Bucks might be willing to part with him so that they won't be left with nothing. Stack and Daniels is a packsge is a hell of a consolation prize anyway.

I would still try to add an athletic big man to split time with Damp or even take the job completely but even if that didn't happen, I would feel comfortable starting the season with that squad. For sure as Rolando would say

TJ Ford's health is a big question, but so is his shot.

100 bucks Ford never steps foot on the court again. Any takers?

Word around Austin... Everybody was pissed when he left early, but in retrospect I can't blame him - I would've gone for the money too.

But with lingering neck, back, spine, concussion issues resulting from multiple falls and blows to the head, he's lucky to be alive. If a doctor told you if you went back to work there's a good chance you'd be paralyzed, or brain-dead, or killed would you really hit the court?

There is a very good chance TJ is done with basketball.

Bucks won the draft lottery. Are the chances even greater now that they do trade Redd?

Winning the lotterry- The chances are better that Redd stays. With the #1 pick, they really have a shot to rebuild quickly. Look at it like this -

Inside ...Bogut? 4.2 ...Gadzuric (resign) 4 ...Smith 6.4 ....(Booth) 6.4
Swing ... Redd (resign) 10 ...Mason 7.3
PG ....Williams 1.8

After signing both Redd and Gadzuric, they will still have around 10 million left in cap money (depending on cap), to add outside FAs. If they negotiate both deals very early but save the actual signings of both players til they add the outsiders, they even have more to spend on outside FAs (maybe another 7 million) because the cap holds will be pretty low.

Redd has already said he'd prefer to stay in Milwaukee. With a strong plan to rebuild such as that, they likely have no problem at all with keeping him. They will be able to add #1 pick, Redd, Gadzuric, and 2-4 solid-to-excellent outside FAs. (The MLE that can be spent on any one player looks like it will be under 4 million in the new CBA - so if the Bucks have 17 million, they can possibly get 4 pretty strong players if they work smartly - lots of teams wont be able to match a 4M offer... or 3 offers at 5.7 will dominate those with only the MLE to spend)
