PrintThis is just a trade idea i came up with and it checked through at realgm but anyways here it is
Milwaukee receives:
Etan Thomas
Mike James
Nick Young
5th Overall Pick
Washington Receives
Michael Redd
10th Overall (Dajuan Blair?)
41st Overall Pick
Im not sure if this type of deal would interest milwaukee but im sure they would have some interest in acquiring expiring deals, trading up in the draft and also acquiring a young talented player.... Thoughts?

definitely
id say it would help both teams but definietly the wiz more. we get a great scorer in redd and the 10th pick to sweeten the deal. I love nick he’s one of my favorite players b/c he has great scoring ability but the wiz are ready to win now and with redd we can do it. not a bad deal for milwaukee they’re rebuilding, get a few young guys and the cap space. but i think that would mean that theyre pretty much throwing in the towel for this year
I'm not sure how well Redd fits
Though I definitely think Ernie is strongly considering Redd, since he drafted him. This is definitely an Ernie-type move.
But it’s also a ton of long-term salary to take on in giving up both expiring contracts for him. I also think Milwaukee would balk at including the 10th pick in there too.
I dunno. A better Redd deal is probably Etan/Young/Songaila/Pech for Redd and a second-rounder.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Too Much
Redd is coming off of surgery for torn ACL and MCL, making MAX money. This is another deal that looks better with Stevenson included in some way.
Too Much Money
If we take on Redd, then we will have $59,951,559 committed to just our top 4 players. That leaves us very little room to resign Brendan, fill out the rest of our roster, and still stay under the luxury tax (I’m assuming it won’t be much higher than it is now).
I like Redd as a player a lot, but we just don’t have that kind of money to take him on with so much already committed to our other players.

It Would Have to Be
A big name on a relatively small salary. It would also depend on how much Brendan Haywood might fetch on the free agent market. If we can resign him for $10 million per year, than we can get another $10 million player to go along with him. If he’s going to demand even bigger money, however, then we won’t be able to keep him and still get another marquee name.

This raises a bigger question
It seems to be the BF consensus that Javale is our center of the future. As in, so-good-we-wouldn’t-trade-him-for-Rubio. Brendan’s contract runs through 2011, right? That’ll be Javale’s third year in the league. If we think he’s so good, don’t we hope he’ll be our starting center by year four?
If so, then we’d be making a mistake giving Brendan over $10 mil/year on a multiyear deal to be our backup center. If not, then why aren’t we up for the Rubio trade?
I don’t come close to having an answer to this one, mind you. But I’d like to hear what folks think about it sometime.
I'm still up in the air about this
Offense he is a bit more like a PF. On defense, McGee can play center, but he needs to bulk up so he doesn’t get abused by the bigger guys, and he needs to learn how to body up around the basket on defense (as well as to stop falling for pump fakes). He’s young and raw, but if he masters those traits then I don’t see why he can’t be a center. His length and shot blocking is a game-changer inside the paint. Keep him there.

Richard Jefferson is a better option
“I dunno. A better Redd deal is probably Etan/Young/Songaila/Pech for Redd and a second-rounder.”
I like the parameters of a deal like this, but targeting Michael Lee’s preference of Richard Jefferson. He’s younger, cheaper, and has a relationship with Gil already. Plus I don’t think that Ernie can justify two max deal players with bad knees.
I also don’t think we need to part with the #5 for Redd or Jefferson. Jefferson got traded for Yi and an expiring contract. His numbers have gone down since then. I say we send them Blatche/Songaila/Mike James/2nd rounder for Jefferson.
They get Blatche and Songaila to tag team the loss of Villanueva, Mike James and Ridnour can hold the fort at point for Sessions leaving, they move Joe Alexander to the starting lineup, spend the #10 on the best PG available. Plus they get some long term salary relief by moving Jefferson’s contract. Another deal would be sending Etan and Deshawn if they are more interested in some insurance on Redd’s injury.
Getting Jefferson will help consolidate some roster spots. Then use the #5 on Jordan Hill as the heir apparent to Jamison. We also can’t move Etan and Mike James because we need some money to come off the books to re-sign Brendan. If we keep one of them and Pech, we have 8-9 million that would come off the books next year.
I would also ideally like to see us salary dump Deshawn (for an expiring deal or future 2nd rounder or something) and sign Flip’s buddies Marbury and McDyess to minimum 1-year deals.
C: Haywood, McGee
PF: Jamison, McDyess, Hill
SF: Butler, McGuire
SF: Jefferson, Young
PG: Arenas, Marbury, Crittendon
Inactives: Thomas, Pecherov (expiring deals)
Can Jefferson Play SG?

I'm sure his length would help
At 6’7" with plenty of athleticism, I’m sure that he can guard the 2 as well if not better than anyone on our roster. With Jefferson and Caron guarding the wings with Haywood in the middle, our defense would be much improved. He may not be Artest, but I’ve never known him to be a liability like Gil or Antawn. Without having to carry a team offensively and letting the opportunities come to him, Jefferson could expend more energy on making defensive plays.
Everyone is clear that we are not going to get a superstar without giving up one of the big three. But Abe also wants to win now. Jefferson gives us that fringe All-Star that would be the #2 on anyone’s team, but would give us a #1, 2a, 2b and 2c (Gil, Jamison, Caron, Jefferson). His ability would create a huge talent mismatch for any team in the league. And because Gil, Jefferson, Caron, Jamison, McGuire, McDyess, and McGee can all play two positions, our rotation would never lose a step. Our team would have a nice blend of scorers, facilitators, rebounders and defenders. We would also have a great of blend of experience and youth. We would have players with chemistry and familiarity amongst each other as well as players with chemistry and familiarity with the coach.

My impression is that those days are behind him.

Nick Young has the potential to be better than Redd
At much less than max money. And he’s younger. I’d rather develop him than take on another max player coming off a serious injury.

It sounds kind of crazy, but I think you're pretty much right
Michael Redd is a no-defense volume shooter who doesn’t contribute much as far as rebounds, assists, or defense. Nick Young’s the same, just not as good. I don’t think it’s that much of an upgrade, and I’d rather we look into another defensive specialist than just try to play five scorers at a time a la the Suns.
Speaking of Phoenix, I know that the same things I said about Redd can be said about Jason Richardson, but at least Richardson can get to the basket, score more efficiently, and defend a little bit better, potentially a lot better, all for about three or four million a year less.

I like Richardson a lot more than Redd in terms of value
But I still think that the Wizards have a history of not developing players, and we are finally in the position to be able to do that with Nick, JaVale, Javaris, and maybe still even Blatche. Blatche is probably on his last rope, but the rest of those guys are just scratching the surface on their pro potential as long as we develop them. That’s why any upgrade we make if any should be significant and not too expensive/lateral.
