From the akronbeaconjournal.com - couldn't link the article because of a weird format.

As always, trade rumors are rampant in the hours leading into the draft. The biggest one surrounding Cleveland involves Milwaukee shooting star Michael Redd, a player the Cavaliers pursued but couldn't sign as a free agent a few seasons back.
Redd, who this week was named to the U.S. Olympic team along with Cavs All-Star LeBron James, could be had for the right price. He has three years and $51 million left on his contract, and Ferry would need to give up some key parts _ perhaps Daniel Gibson and Anderson Varejao _ along with some top picks to bring Redd to Cleveland.
Bucks general manager John Hammond indicated he would listen to offers for Redd, who averaged 22.7 points last season for one of the league's worst teams.
"We have to consider what's best for our organization, for our team," Hammond said. "There have been many, many great players traded at some point in their careers, some have gone on to be Hall of Fame players that have been traded."
Adding Redd would bring needed firepower to the offensively challenged Cavs, and finally give James a running mate to help make another title chase.

I really think the Cavs/Danny Ferry are working their asses off to bring Redd in. There was a rumor during the playoffs that a deal was done for Redd. Apparently bull[censored], but I think both sides are close on this one. It may come down to Boobie which I would still do. LeBron and Redd would be an amazingly effiecient combo.
