Around SBN: News And Other Updates Leading Up To Pats-Giants

Josh Howard out "indefinitely"; catalyst for a trade?

With Redd hobbled again, but likely to make a return to the court sometime soon, would a Josh Howard/Dampier for Redd and some combo of PF/C trade be realistic and a smart move for both teams? With Howard hobbled as well, the Mavs would be banking on Redd being able to contribute soon and fill a big whole in their starting line-up, as well as adding a guy like DG (he's actually playing well of late) or the combo of Elson and Thomas to strengthen their front line. The Bucks get a very good, starting SF (though unable to contribute for who knows how long, the current line-up is playing solid team ball, producing wins and energizing the fan base) and a back-up C with both players' contracts expiring at the end of the year (I believe Dampier's contract has a stipulation for the second year based on limited playing time this year).

Redd could help the Bucks, no doubt, however, I can't imagine Hammond has plans for him in this rebuilding process (remember how the pundits thought trading Stackhouse for the little known Hamilton was a mistake?)! The Bucks could potentially be a MAJOR players in the big 2010 free agent bonanza (not that I think they'll land LeBron, but I do think Bosh or Wade are both possibilities if the team had the available resources).

It's all about the future ... though the present compilation of players is very fun to watch!

Probably more realistic to get one of Howard/Dampier and then have to take on somebody like Matt Carroll to fill the rest of the deal, but that’s still shaving $14 million off the Bucks’ cap number if they decline Howard’s team option. If the Bucks get Dampier then I agree that Elson/Thomas would be preferable given their expiring deals.

Teams just don’t trade injured players. There’s too much to gamble on. Especially if the players are paid over ten million a year. I just don’t see Redd going anywhere until he proves he can contribute without any dunking catastrophes.
