Obviously some of these guys are not available as trade targets (LeBron, Wade, etc.) and some are point guards (I sorted by 6'3" plus -- Steve Nash is 6'3"?) but the Wolves are said to be interested in a bunch of guys on the list -- Kevin Martin, Jamal Crawford, Ray Allen, etc.
So..........why aren't we hearing anything about J.J. Redick? Redick is 8th in the list in Win Shares per 48. While he is toward the bottom in assists, 2 a game for a ridiculous gunner like Redick, Ray Allen or Kevin Martin is decent.
Redick is shooting 46% from 3. He is shooting 93% from the line. While he is a mediocre rebounder and assist man, neither stat is particularly horrible, and the Wolves have guys who can assist and rebound. He has the 7th highest Offensive Rating in the league. Higher than Kevin Love's.
(Side note, of the 5 healthy guys in the league whose free throw percentage rounds up to 90% or better, the Wolves are said to be interested in every one...........except Redick (Morrow, Crawford, Allen, Martin).
Redick is also under contract next year for a reasonable $6 million....and the Magic are looking to clear cap space once they have to trade Dwight Howard.
David Kahn? You paying attention?
