Milwaukee could tell them what players they would want. It would be an after the draft trade.

NBA experts say LeBron James and Cleveland Cavaliers are suited for triangle offense

Players are suited for such a system but selling idea is major hurdle Sunday, June 08, 2008

Coach Phil Jackson has coached 11 teams from two different cities into the NBA Finals, but they all have one thing in common: the triangle offense.
With the Cavaliers taking a lot of heat about their stagnant offense preventing them from beating the Boston Celtics and advancing in the playoffs this season, it seems like a question worth asking:

Could the triangle offense work here?

"In Cleveland's situation, in my mind, the personnel would be ideal," Tex Winter said.

Contrary to popular opinion, Winter didn't invent the triangle - or triple-post - offense. He learned it while playing for Sam Barry at USC and perfected it during more than 60 years of coaching in college and as an assistant to Jackson in Chicago and Los Angeles.

Now a consultant to the Lakers, the 86-year-old Winter wanted to make it clear he was only answering a question. He didn't want it to appear he was analyzing or criticizing the Cavs.

But as the foremost authority on the triangle offense, he's the basketball version of the EF Hutton ad. When he talks, people listen.

lots of rumors on other boards about a done deal for Redd. No trades can be announced until the finals are over, so it will take a while to find out.

but the rumor is wally and AV for Redd, no draft picks involved.

if that is the trade, and cleveland uses #19 on a big, that's not too bad at all.

I guess that would kill any move for JO the less they would like to take Ben Wallaceoff of our hands. I really can't think of anything else that could get him from Indiana.

Probably so as not sure if we would have the contracts to match for JO...we would have Snow as an expiring, and Joe smith...But wouldn't be able to match 20mil...

Either way Redd would make me very very very happy...

Great if true... he would be a much better get than JO in my opinion. But I'll believe it when i see it.
