Around SBN: MLB Trade Deadline: Phils, Astros complete Roy Oswalt deal

If rebuilding: Redd for J-Richardson

Truth be told I'm a Suns fan but I want, the Bucks Fan's input, as I looked over other trades that would possibly make the Suns a better team I realized that Jason Richardson's contract paired with the partially guaranteed contract of Sasha Pavlovic would be a trade commodity that would allow us to get someone of a high caliber someone like Michael Redd. Why Redd? Because I hear that there might just as there is in Phoenix be a rebuilding in Milwaukee.

If the Suns want to invest in their future or want to try to compete as Dallas, San Antonio, and Los Angeles have done they could also add in a piece they've missed since they traded him for almost literally nothing Mr. Kurt Thomas. This also makes financial sense for the Bucks.

Now the first thing to remember is that the Bucks are looking to lower their payroll and what a perfect way to do it allow me to explain.

Suns get-

Michael Redd- 2yr- $17,040,000

Kurt Thomas- 1yr- $3,800,000

 

Bucks get-

Jason Richardson- 2-yr $13,333,334

Sasha Pavlovic- 1-yr $4,946,250

Alando Tucker- 1-yr $1,071,720

 

Now in order for the Bucks to consider this they would have to save a substantial amount, this deal would help them do just that, their payroll stands at $71M and change if this deal were to go through there payroll would drop to about $66M assuming they buyout Pavlovic. Not to mention the additional $4M the Bucks would save on the last year of Redd's contract.

This deal couldn't happen until mid August when both Pavlovic and Thomas will be allowed to be traded with other players but a nice thought in my mind.

If you're really rebuilding...

Why not trade for an expiring? I think McGrady for Redd and Ridnour would work.

If these teams are rebuilding, why not trade for someone young with potential, along with expiring contracts, either way it’ll wait until deadline, because no one is gonna trade for Redd’s contract without seeing him play uninjured.

I like the idea of a player sticking with a single team for their whole career. I hope Redd finishes his career as a Buck.
