"One of the potential free agents the Cavaliers are believed to be interested in next summer is Milwaukee Bucks sharpshooter Michael Redd." Full Story: http://www.ohio.com/mld/ohio/sports/10121302.htm?1c
this may be a very good thing for the Cavs if they can pull it off, but seriously, i don't think milwaukee will not resign their best player. if micheal redd goes to cleveland, he gives a valuable outside shooter, sometime the cavs lack with their lineup. i think giving up jeff mcginnis and another role player wanted by milwaukee will do the trick. probably, the decision of the bucks rest mostly on TJ Ford 's condition. if TJ can still ball well, redd may go
The Cavs lineup would be crazy if this happened. PG: McInnis SG: Redd SF: James PF: Gooden C: Ilguaskas Definitely a top seed in the east. I've heard that rumor before and it has a possibility of happening. Redd might especially be attracted to Cleaveland for playing alongside James. Only if the Knicks had that cap room to sign players like that...
They would be awesome and they would have the perimeter shooter they have lacked. This would be a great move and I think they would have a shot at the championship if they did this.
^ Championship is going a bit too far. Strong East contender's, yes, but they still wouldn't be championship contender's.
If they aquire redd a Redd Lebron combo would probably provide them with one of the best one two punches in the league. I do not know how willing the Bucks will be to let Redd go though considering he is there best player, and they do not have too many players with huge super star contracts so they could afford to resign him.
The Bucks can give Redd as much money as he wants, but when it comes down to it, he might stay with the Bucks because of the money. I don't think he wants to win as much now as he wants the money, since he's been underpaid during his whole career. However the Cavs will have alot of money in the offseason, and depending on how much they give Z, I think Redd will stay with the Bucks for the few extra mill.
Wow...LeBron, Redd, Gooden, Z...that would be so crazy...Finals bound IMO, that is what LeBron needs is a sharpshooter to put this team into the next level of teams. I doubt it happens though.
Yeah, I saw this on I, Max. It would give the cavs the shooting that they need from 3-pointers and mid-range. LeBron and Redd are both from around the same area too.
Just thinking here although it probably wont happen if they got Redd Redd could be Lebrons version of Pippen needed to win a championship. I eman it would all go together with redd playing Pippen, Lebron being Jordan, Gooden being Grant, and Big Z being a less crazy, and more productive on the offensive end Dennis Rodman. Maybe going a little over board here , but possible dynasty?

In order for Redd to be Pippen, he would have to be one of the premiere (Ron Artest type premiere) defenders in this League, which will not happen. I can understand you comparing LeBron to Jordan, like many, but comparing Redd to Pippen is ridiculious. If you're comparing anyone to Rodman, it should be Gooden, but that's still ridiculious. Gooden and Z are nowhere close to Rodman in his prime, defensively obviously. Gooden will be a good player, but nowhere close to Rodman on the defensive end. The Cavs can become their own dynasty, but it's in LeBrons hands and his development. If Redd can go there with Z staying put, I could definitly seeing them being contenders for the title, but they're nowhere close to the Dynasty Bulls. Lets actually see them get Redd first, and maybe get to the finals, before talking about a possible Dynasty in comparsion to the Bulls.

I do not think they will get Redd, but considering many people compare Lebron to Jordan just a posssible comparison of the bulls dynasty arrives in my mind.
If this deal goes down, the Cavs will remind me a lot of the Bulls Championship Teams, because Redd reminds me quite a bit of Pippen. Let's compare rosters. Cavs Bulls PG- Jeff Mcinnis PG- B.J Armstrong SG- Lebron James SG- Michael Jordan SF- Michael Redd SF- scottie Pippen PF- Drew Gooden PF- Dennis Rodman C- Big Z C- Toni Kukoc or Luc Longley
Dynasty...no Championship...maybe Playoffs..almost definately Right now i think there are 4 East Teams that really stick out Heat Magic Pacers Cavs Those in my opinion are the best teams in the east. The thing is Pacers and Cavs are both from Central Division and Heat and magic are both from Southeast. That means that there would be the best team of each as 1 and 2 then the Atlantic winner as 3 then it would be the next best and then for 5 the next best. That means one of those teams will definately be eliminated in the first round unless it drops to 6 where it will play the Atlantic Winner... Sorry if thats confusing but yeah.. Cavs have lots of potential but i think they arent as good as pacers magic and heat.

Pippen was an all-around player...hard-nosed all world defense with a great(and very underrated) offensive game to boot. Matter of factly, during the 90's alot of people considered Pippen second only to Michael Jordan. When Jordan retired alot of those same people labeled Pip the best in the game. Does Redd exemplify any of those qualities? No. Redd is basically a shooter. He doesn't have the great all-around game of Scottie Pippen. His game is that of a shooter,a good one at that,but nowhere is he comparable to Pippen.
