Title: Danny wants JJ Redick? (Rumor)
Post by: SchnellHanse on January 19, 2013, 11:40:43 AM
I just got this from realgm

David Baumann @DavidBaumann33
As Feb. 21 #NBA trade deadline looms, sources tell me the Boston Celtics covet Orlando Magic SG J.J. Redick.

Thoughts?  ;D

I have always thought he would be a good guy to have on team.  But I can't see where he fits unless a trade is coming to open up pt for him.

Because JJ is white and we need our token on the team:-)))  That is a JOKE!!!

Maybe because JJ looks like he went to BYU and Danny has forgotten that he went to Duke.

Just having some fun guys!!  Don't mean to offend anyone.

In all seriousness, JJ would be instant offense off the bench.  What would we give up?  It would have to be one of our many guards, but who??

1. Danny might have a man crush on him

2. Danny wants better 3 point shooters? Redick: 38% Lee: 32% the Jet: 36% Barbosa: 40% Bradley: 28% hmm  ::)

 that makes no sense unless we give up terry and barbosa. If not I don't see the fit.

Either Terry or Lee works in realgm.com tradechecker.  I am impressed with JJ's 4.5 assists and his almost 2.5 to 1 assist/turnover ratio!!!

I bet we would have to throw in a first or second rounder though.

Would love to hve Redick on this team. He's a tough player who would stretch the floor and give us the type of shooter we had with Ray, which we don't have right now with Lee.

He's not a bad long-term fit with Rondo, or even with Rondo and Bradley.

Actually, he might not be a bad long-term fit with just Bradley, if Danny is thinking of a lineup with no true point guard (a la Danny and DJ).

Short term, I don't see how getting him does much for our playoff chances., given what we already have at that position.

Post by: Smitty77 on January 19, 2013, 12:16:06 PM
I would say doubling or tripling our assists from the SG position would potentially be huge!!!

Average assists this year:

Courtney Lee:  1.3
Jason Terry:  2.3
Avery Bradley:  1.3

JJ Redick:  4.5

And don't forget he is averaging 4.5 assists and only 2 turnovers.

Orlando wouldn't do that trade. The Cs would need to include a 1st round pick.

Post by: Smitty77 on January 19, 2013, 12:22:48 PM
Cman,

I agree.  Terry is not enough.  However, Lee might be given his history with them as a rookie.  I think Lee and a second rounder might get it done.

Heck yeah.

Give us MY BOY JJ. Id trade Lee for him right now.

I understand Lee is a better defender, but JJ is a little better all around. Great guy to have onyour team.

I mentioned this not to long ago. He would be great off the ball since Rondo loves to dribble dribble until someone runs open. Don't know if I'm willing to move Bradley unless Bradley brought us back someone like Josh or something so we'll see.

I thought he hated that - hence the friction with Ray...

It serves Rondo well, it was Ray who didn't like it.  Ray wanted to run PnR.  Why I don't know, maybe Ray is a little delusional.

Not sure I'd trade Lee for Reddick though.  I like what the combo of Bradley/Lee bring defensively.  Terry would be the one to go in my mind.  Probably need a 3rd team, as I doubt Orlando wants Terry.  Wouldn't be right to trade him there anyway.

I'd love J.J. Redick on this team. 

But who do we give up?  And what other moves are being made alongside this?

Right now we have a surplus of guards.  Unless there's another move that changes the composition of the roster so we have a need at that position, it wouldn't make sense to trade for J.J.
Title: Re: Danny wants JJ Redick? (New rumor)
Post by: Evantime34 on January 19, 2013, 01:13:16 PM
I don't see a deal in which getting JJ makes sense. If we were to move Terry in the process of getting a center we could acquire JJ.

I don't know who Orlando would want for him though, it would be a mistake to trade Bradley or Sully for him.

I wouldn't mind his skills on this team.

The only way I'd trade for Redick is if we could get Vucevic also.

Post by: sofutomygaha on January 19, 2013, 02:29:46 PM
This would basically be us getting Ray Allen back. Sounds good to me, but it'll be fascinating to see what would be going Orlando's way. I can't believe it would just be Courtney Lee, and I can't believe it would be Bass unless Glen Davis was coming back too!
Title: Re: Danny wants JJ Redick? (New rumor)
Post by: sofutomygaha on January 19, 2013, 02:34:33 PM
I take that back- I hadn't realized Redick was expiring. If Orlando doesn't want to pay to keep him, it would make sense for them to take back a guard with a similar skill set who is signed to a reasonable contract.

Post by: SHAQATTACK on January 19, 2013, 04:18:23 PM
Barbosa , JET, LEE, BASS , are all Canidates I guess... ???

I can see Danny wants that  3 point guy, that JET is suppose to be , instant offense off the bench.  Redick will become a more specialized player for this as he gets older. Maybe Danny wants him before anybody else gets him .   I mean Allen can't play but so much longer for the HEAT he'll be like 39 next year?

Long as he don't trade Melo, Sully and AB off .

Shooting? Since no one is doing it very well right about now. I'd be happy swapping guards with Orlando.

Post by: gpap on January 19, 2013, 06:29:41 PM
I can see why DA is interested in Redick. For this alleged surplus of guards we have, not a single one is a consistent offensive threat.

Terry, Lee and Barbosa are hit or miss and Rondo/Bradley's game isn't predicated on offense (Rondo more on assists and play making and Avery on D.)

I think Ainge is looking for another Ray Allen/Eddie House type that can come off the bench and provide an instant offensive spark. Again, this is what Terry and Lee were suppose to do, but it doesn't always work that way.

I'd love Redick here, but I agree with others that SG isn't exactly our biggest need right now.

I'd trade Terry for him in a heartbeat, and I'd probably move Lee for him, too.

Post by: rocknrollforyoursoul on January 19, 2013, 09:14:34 PM
I guess he'd be an upgrade over some of our currents SGs, but we'd have to use one or two of them in a trade for Redick, or in some other trade, hopefully for a big.

TP for you my friend.  This Celtics team every since the 'big three' era has always had at least one elite and consistent perimeter scorer who can hit three's at a deadly rate.

We also always had a second person who could be a go-to guy down the stretch.

For us in past years that guy was always Ray Allen.  Pierce was usually our go-to guy, but Ray was equally capapble of hitting the big shot, so we were always able to run plays for either guy.

Right now our second best scorer is KG, and as solid as he is offensively, he's just not the type of player who can consistently dominate opposing teams with his individual scoring.  He can at times, but not consistently. 

After Pierce and KG our third best scorer on this team is probably a two-way tie between Jason Terry and Jeff Green, and both of those guys are inconsistent.

Everybody goes on about our need for a big man, but I think we are more desperate for another consistent scorer.  Somebody who is a potential 15 PPG to 18 PPG guy who can be our second scoring option, and allow KG to return back to being our third option.

I just don't think he's comfortable being our second scoring option out there - he's always been unselfish and more of a pass-first player. He's a very talented scorer, but not necessarilly the guy you want carrying the scoring load.

Post by: More Banners on January 20, 2013, 12:17:54 AM
Reddick...used to really not care for him, but he's grown from a hustle player into a very solid veteran role player who still hustles, and tends to be consistent in consequence.  Someone that couple play on any team.

Not sure how much of an improvement he would be over any of our guys, assuming our dude worked as hard.

But before pulling the trigger on a SG/SF-type (which JJRed is soon do be due to age), we should assess the future of our D-League guy. 

And then I see no need for Reddick.
