What contract are we giving Reddick? What contract are we going to give Lin next summer? Seems like a team with a very limited window to go all in on with two aging players set to take up a big chunk of the cap by next season.

I don't get the desire to give up firsts for Lin given his contract status.

I wonder if you could swap out Brooklyn for Phoenix. If they draft a 19 year old PG to put next to 20 year old Booker and their 2 19 year old bigs, they should plan to be a non playoff team for at least the next 2-4 years.

Instead of Lin and Redick, Bledsoe and Redick.

Asik/Pondexter and all the picks in the bigger deal for Bledsoe. Then essentially a 3 way S&T of Holiday/Melo/Redick. Although you may need to add some filler or even dump Ajinca and operate under the cap because I would think Redick is getting paid less than Melo/Holiday in this scenario.

its not. the deal is Jrue Holliday is traded and those two come back.

no one is giving up a first for those guys. Reddick can still shoot. Lin has his days.

Not really a great deal, but maybe its ok compared to just losing Jrue.
