Well you are also dumping Asik without having to stretch him, which drastically increases the value on our end.

I would definitely consider it.

well of course I like dumping Asik, but i'm not giving up a pick, one which it sounds like we are trying to use to get another player at some point before next seasons trade deadline, to get Lin for a year and a new Reddick contract, and we don't get to keep Jrue.

I would love to get Reddick, but i'd like to know what his contract will be b/c i'm assuming it would be in the $15M range, which is too much for him.
If the Clippers are getting Melo, then wouldnt' they have to send out at least 75% of Melo's contract, since they are over the cap? Melo's salary will be something like $27M next year b/c of his trade kicker. They would have to send out over $20M, so is Reddick signing for $20M or they throwing someone else out there?

I'm not wanting 30 year old role players making $10+M a year as our moves this offseason.
If we are getting a high priced 30 year old, he better be a difference maker as a starter, and be the wing player that will end the game with the ball in his hands deciding whether or not to take the shot or give it to AD or Cousins.
