"At this point, I think the best case scenario for the Bucks is trading Redd, Simmons and Gadzuric for nothing in return just to clean the books. (Obviously, you have to throw in Redd to get someone to take Simmons and Gadzuric) " Good idea in theory but the NBA does not allow these situations to take place. You need to be like within 90% of the money that you trade somehow (I BELIEVE). The best we could do is take an expiring contact for these guys, and the chance to do that was at this trade deadline. It takes more than a year to turn a team around in the NBA. It is very significant to notice that Kohl now has a Lawyer at the top of his list to approve Larry Harris moves. I dont think its that he doesnt trust Larry Harris, I think its that he is trying to make the team as good of a sale as possible.
