Knicks · Knicks & Magic Scussin Redick 4 Shump.... (page 1)

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA

The Magic and Knicks have discussed a J.J. Redick for Iman Shumpert trade. Other players (and maybe a third team) would have to be involved.

There will be players moved this deadline for sure get your seatbelts on folks and be prepared for takeoff

Nothing imminent, but it's something to keep an eye on over next few days. Redick helps NY win now, Shumpert gives ORL another young piece.

He may look like a kid, but weirdly he always seems to have great sources- guess players and GMs must think their helping out some school kid with his project.

This trade ain't happening though- Reddick makes $6mil, which makes it difficult for us to match salaries. We'd have to include Shump AND Novak, which makes the trade pointless for us.

If Nelson was playing like he was 3 yrs ago that would be nice but the dude's shooting has plummeted.

Redick: "Could I live in NY? If my job was there, I guess. Not something I'd necessarily choose to do. Feel like I got it out of my system."

Sure you don't mean Wojo?

What I like about Reddick is that he is a career 40% shooter from 3 pt range and almost 88% career free throws. Near the end of the game, when thr other team purposely fouls, it is crucial to have a high %age FT shooter on the floor. They win games.

If we're taking Reddick's $6 mil contract, don't we have to give up approx $6 mil in salaries regardless of how many teams are involved?

Yeah you have to be close but it all depends on how Orl wants the Knicks to match. If they don't want anymore long term money the Knicks can give them the players with 1 yr deals. That means they still have Novak to flip if they want and add someone to take more money off their hands this year.

I still do it. Reddicks shooting would open so much and wouldn't get shut down or rely so much on the rest of the team getting him open shots. Hate to lose what Shump will bring to the table when healthy but, I think Reddick would have a more positive effect on the win/loss ratio

couldn't New York add cash to the trade instead of add other players in the mix. Or that ever oblique "future considerations."
