Redd Set to Return, How Will He Fit In?

Shapecity · Nov 18, 2009

Michael Redd has been the go-to scorer for the Bucks the last few years, and he's got a career average of 20.5 points a game. You figure the Bucks will welcome him back when he returns from injury soon, right?

Well, could it be now that the Bucks are playing well with a terrific defense and have a young scoring threat in Brandon Jennings, they don't need him?

"Even though I might be in the minority, I say no," writes Jeremy of ESPN Affiliate site Bucksketball. "Many people are ready to dump Redd for expiring contracts, just to get him off the books. Well it's typically not that easy. Teams have been gearing up for this offseason for the last few years, so taking back a player whose contract isn't up for another two years isn't high on everyone's to do list.

"Even if the Bucks were offered large expiring contracts that likely keeps them from being a serious threat to the playoffs this year, and if the Memphis Grizzlies have shown us anything, it's that it's hard to develop young players on consistently poor performing teams. The Bucks would better serve the development of their young guys (not to mention satisfy the hunger of the guys who have been here for a few years) by making a playoff push this year."
