It is rumored that Orlando is looking for a big man and reddick is the bait to lure some in. Some of the names that are being put out there are diop, Mohamed, pryzbilla, and foster. I think fes is in this group of players not to mention we have some young talent that we could throw into the mix to sweeten the deal. Hayward, Evans, tomic. Heck I would even throw in a draft pick.

The way reddick shoots the ball he reminds me a lot og hornacek. If I was koc I would be doing what we could to trade fes to Orlando for reddick. He would be huge coming in off the bench.

Fess, Elson or Bell maybe. Hayward, evans or tomic, plus fess? Not so much.
 
I think they are more interested in a veteran big man, someone who knows what they are doing.
 
...plus Redick works hard denying the ball on defense! I was watching him last night against the Spurs. He was busting his butt to keep the ball from Genobli. Did pretty well, too!
 
Trade a big body that has shown worth against clubs that throw giants against us for some Korver-clone? No. Reddick is less than a decent player. Dunno how and when that guy got so respected in this league.
 
Reddick has been shooting lights out the last dozen games or so. It's probably a "sell high" ploy by Orlando to see if they can get someone to overpay for him. So forget about Fes, Elson, etc.

As for Reddick if he's a Korver-clone and people thought Korver was overpaid then how are they going to feel about this guy at 7+ mil?
 
I wouldn't trade Elson. The guy is another Big Dog. He plays good d, rebounds, hits the open j, hits the open man, runs the floor -- at times, he's played better than Big Al. I doubt Fes alone would get us Redick, though. Maybe Fes and a first-rounder? Or Fes and Hayward. Doubt the Jazz want to give up on Hayward so soon, but I'm beginning to have my doubts about him. Not sure if he has the mental strength, but then he is young, so we probably need to give him time.

Normally I agree with you, but I think the "Korver-clone" comment goes too far. This guy can dribble, drive, and play ball-denying defense a lot better than Korver. If someone closes on Reddick too quickly/aggressively, he has the ability to penetrate and dish. That, right there, should make the Jazz FO very interested in him.

But, yeah, I don't think we have the assets to pull this off. . . but maybe since they are in the habit of taking on toxic contracts they'll take Memo for him. I'd do it. (EDIT: just tried that trade in the TRADE MACHINE; doesn't work straight-up)
 
I can see a Reddick/Okur swap (with pieces), but it wouldn't come until closer to the deadline with Okur showing he's healthy. I'm not sure I would do it, but it fits the realistic trade model: shaves salary, Reddick's contract going forward is reasonable (and lowers to 6.5 and 6), doesn't make us significantly worse. Reddick replaces Price, gives us more scoring on the second unit, and Elson/Fess hold the fort down low. For the Magic, they probably put Okur in the starting lineup for maximum spacing, get Bass's benefits off the bench, and get back a version of the model that got them to the Finals.
 
I am pretty sure the Magic will be able to get better deals.

On the other hand Reddick would really thrive in our offense. And he contract is high but not crazy.

But Okur is literally the only player we have that we could possibly trade for Reddick.
