Trade Deadline: Feb. 24. Will the Clippers make a move?
I cant remember the last time the Clippers made a significant, or any kind of, mid season trade. However, it could happen. Do any of you see any trades happening? What trades would you like to see? The only one rumored so far was the baron davis trade, but elgin and dunleavvy pretty much said there was no way that was happening.
Michael redd;s name popped up as being on the block according to insider blurb, but i havent seen the article. Only position the clippers need a solid player at is SG/SF. Someone mentioend simmons as being untouchable...is this from a source in the media? I thought only kaman, mags, and brand and livingston were untouchable.
STerling, baylor, dunleavvy all want a go to guy if one of the clilppers does not assert himself as one...probably even still. Allen wont be on the trading block. I think the clippers need someone like him or redd.
To me, redd seems like the only possible option, and its still only a remote chance. Bucks season is going nowhere, so maybe if they dont think they can afford redd next year, they just rebuild? Problem is the contracts. The only one i could think of that would make sense would be Kittles, Wilcox, future number 1, for Redd, Joe Smith, and TJ Ford's contract. That would give the bucks 10 million next year to play with in free agency, while an immediate replacement for redd for this year (although he could average a max of 15 points), plus a younger, more athletic, future all star (as some here think) version of joe smith.
The only other trades i would like to see happen is possibly 2nd rounders and a filler for skita. Or perhaps a trade for luke walton. But again, those are highly unlikely.
