Via the Racine-Journal Times:
In the last week, several officials from both the Eastern and Western Conferences acknowledged the Bucks have been gauging the interest other teams may have in some of their players. The most notable one is All-Star shooting guard Michael Redd.
Redd is unquestionably the Bucks’ best player, the one who would bring back the most in a trade. However, while Redd is one of the most prolific scorers in the league, some teams are reluctant to take on his sizable contract. Redd will make $15.78 million and $17.04M over the next two years, respectively.
What’s more, Redd has a player option for $18.30M for the 2010-2011 season. [Read]
I assume the Bucks are looking to shed some of their payroll.
If that’s the case, GM Danny Ferry needs to get off his tail and earn his keep.
Szczerbiak is entering the last year of a contract that pays him $13 million this upcoming year. Eric Snow is $7.3 million off the books in ‘09. Joe Smith and Damon Jones are at $5.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively.
That’s $30.3 million in expiring contracts for 2009.
Michael Redd would be a perfect acquisition for Cleveland.

Yeah – Redd would be sick on the Cavs.
Can’t believe he didn’t just sign with us in the first place 4 years ago.
If they can keep Gibson and add a guy like Redd to go along with Z and role players – that is a scary good team.

Redd is their best player, but I think Mo Williams is their most important player for the future.

Tsunami,
It’s a miracle.
We agreed on something regarding your Cavs.
I think Redd made a huge mistake 4 years ago.
