the Bucks still need a PF, and if they traded Redd, they'd need a 2 guard.

i'd assume they'd draft a 2 guard in the draft if they were trading Redd.

well, wally world can play the two and has an expiring contract as well. so, the aforementioned trade to Cleveland would clear a lot of cap space, get them a young PF, and another draft pick so they can get younger.

it almost seems to be a perfect fit, which is exactly why it won't happen.

I was wondering how this move might affect the Cavs' efforts to get Redd. I was actually thinking that they might be inclined to hold onto Redd and make a run toward the playoffs with him and Jefferson. I don't know if that would actually work for them, but I could see where they would try that. Otherwise, it doesn't make much sense for them to trade for a player like Jefferson who has three years left on his contract.
