Michael Redd?

When we first signed Redd I kind of downplayed his impact on the team but watching them the last two games, I'm now somewhat hopeful. I don't want to get too high over a couple of home wins over tired/shorthanded teams but a healthy Redd could really fill some holes in this lineup.

A (healthy) lineup of Nash, Redd, Hill, Frye and Gortat bolstered by a solid second team of Price, Brown, Dudley, Morris and Lopez should be pretty competitive. In fact, I think it's more than enough to make the playoffs. It's still not enough to do a lot of postseason damage but it's probably the best we can hope for. Especially since it's pretty obvious this management group has no interest in positioning us for a high lottery pick. Now, if they can just find trading partners for Warrick and Childress!

I particularly do not see a trading partner for Childress. My guess is the Suns buy him out if they need more CAP space in the future. Price is proving a suitable backup PG although I would still prefer another option besides Telfair. If the Suns wanted a backup PG that provided some scoring plus PG skills, Nate Robinson would have fit the bill. He is now with GS.

I suppose if you eliminate getting a high lottery pick and rebuilding as an option, that is true. Just a shame in a year where we may actually have a chance to get a franchise player to build around, we'll be fighting for the chance to get a 1st round beatdown and a middling pick. It all just seems to be a farce to me.

I know there is is nothing that can be done about the concept, but isn't it a shame when fans have to root for their team to lose?

As the saying goes, "There is no gravity. The earth sucks."

Childress will be amnestied.
