I was against the idea a few days ago when it first came up but I am coming around to it now.
I do think Redick is the better backup SG but I thought Lee's superior defense would have been more useful in matching up against D-Wade and the Miami Heat (which I feel is key to beating to Miami). I really liked having both Bradley and Lee to throw at Wade.
But now, now I think I undervalued just how much Boston needs extra shooters offensively. Even if Redick is not quite as useful against Miami as Lee was, Redick is a necessary and the superior weapon to have.
So I am in. A Redick for Lee based trade. Do it.
I'm not. I still think that Lee's defense will be more instrumental, and I think Lee plays offense well enough that I don't think Redick will bring a lot to our team. Much of Lee's problems offensively are opportunity issues, something I'm not sure Redick will solve. Redick will come here, have a limited role, less opportunities to use his shooting abilities, while not impacting the game defensively as Lee can.
A Lee for Redick trade just doesn't look good to me. We need someone like Lee. Given, we could use someone like Redick too, but I don't think we need to get one at the expense of Lee. Terry should be able to provide the Redick role, but for some reason he's missing his shots at the moment. He started the year very hot, so I find it hard to believe that he'll continue to struggle this way, particularly when we need him the most late in the year.
What about a Redick + Harrington for Bass and Terry and a pick? Would they go for that?
