    Hahaha, that's awesome. Somewhat similar to the Steve Francis situation we had here last year.

    Is it because he is a white guy? Similar to Spanoulis, Langhi etc?

    That's not really saying a lot.

    Not me. Luther has his problems, but he's proven himself capable of playing decent ball with a few bright moments tossed in against every team except the Jazz. The fact that they've been our first-round opponents has made Luther a pariah around ClutchFans, but against everyone else, he plays pretty well for an 8th or 9th roster spot guy.

    Redick, on the other hand, has proven only that he can help sell DVDs of basketball lessons.

    Haha, what do you mean LAST year, it'll be like this THIS year too.

    And if he retires, it'll morph into an Horry-situation (if he actually retired)

    I'd trade Luther and a future first.

    No way, no Luther for Redick. Luther was on the US National Select Team for a reason...

    Excluding Bo Outlaw, Redick had the worst +/- of any Magic in 2007-08 with a negative Roland Rating. To put the one-dimensional aspect of Redick into even clearer focus, his +/- of negative 7.8 was comparable to Steve Novak's negative 9.5.

    Redick barely belongs in the NBA and every day he's not in a Houston uniform is a good day.

    I'd trade Luther for a 3rd round pick.

    Why? The guy is completely worthless. I wouldn't even trade Luther for him (and that's saying a lot).

    JJ Reddick will never be a good NBA player

    Luther will never be a good playoff player

    No dice

    Never is a long time....get JJ away from the offensively challenged Van Gundy brothers and you will see his value.

    Stan Van Gundy is hardly offensively challenged. He tends to get the best out of his players on the offensive side of the ball. He said he'd give Redick a fair shot and he did. It's just that Redick's defense is apparently so awful that he's not worth putting on the court.

    If you can outscore the guy you are guarding your defense is good enough.
