Lakers to trade Mihm, Sasha, Walton for Redd and Gadzuric

http://nbahoopsonline.com/Articles/2004-05/Buckslakerstrade.html

The Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers are nearing a deal that would
send guard Michael Redd, and center Dan Gadzuric to the Lakers for guard
Sasha Vujacic, forward Luke Walton, and center Chris Mihm.

The Bucks feel they will not be able to keep Redd after the end of this
season, so acquiring three young players make sense. Gadzuric who played
college ball in southern California at UCLA would fit the Lakers offense,
as
would Redd, who would probably come off the bench, or the Lakers could
move
Bryant to the small forward spot.

Leading more credence to this re****t is the fact that many people involved
in the Lakers organization have said that the Lakers will make a trade
before the trade deadline, and that player acquired would be a high
profile
player. Redd would fit that mold. He was an all-star in 2004. Most
analyses
believe the Lakers to be going after a big man, most notably Utah's Carlos
Boozer. But recent re****ts say that deal is off, so making a trade with
the
Bucks to acquire another potential star who if need be contract would come
off the books at seasons' end.
