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.
obviously a more ideal scenario, but tougher.
Also its all academic because complex fantasies like this rarely ever come close to fruition.

It's not super common to have a sign and trade for a UFA, this deal requires two of those types of deals. I don't think I'm feeling the love for Lin.

Right. A trade like this has way too many moving parts to ever become a reality. It's the same as the trade he rpoposed to get Lopez at the deadline and then Batum. There were too manymoving pieces.
In this scenario, Jrue would have to agree to go to NYK and then agree on a contract. Reddick would have to agree to come here and the only way that is happening is if the $$$$ is wayyy over anyone else. Neither of those players' agents are going to completely forego free agency unless the deals are way over market, so we have to wait for them to explore too. Also the Clippers would have to send out more salary unless they aren't resigning Blake
The trade is unrealistic. McNamara just really wants Lin and since his Lin for 1st trade makes no sense once you actually break it down and think about it, he is now trying to figure out another way to get him here.
I also don't like the idea of giving up Jrue and 1st for Linn and Reddick. I think re-signing Jrue and using the 1st to upgrade Moore is the best option for the Pels.
