Will Changes In Milwaukee Keep Redd From Cavs?

Jun 27, 2008 4:43 PM EST

The trade the Bucks agreed upon to acquire Richard Jefferson from the Nets on Thursday afternoon could signify that they will keep Michael Redd in town, according to The Morning Journal.

The Cavaliers were rumored to be interested in Redd's services as a nice No. 2 option alongside LeBron James, but all of a sudden Milwaukee looks like a playoff team in the East.

After dealing with New Jersey, the Bucks now have a respectable lineup of Mo Williams, Michael Redd, Jefferson, Charlie Villanueva, and Andrew Bogut.

They also added Joe Alexander through the draft.
