    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Magic said Monday they had no plans to make a draft-night move involving J.J Redick or to deal him this summer, even though the popular but frustrated shooting guard wouldn't mind leaving Orlando in hopes of finding playing time.
    "We're not looking to move J.J. If it doesn't make sense, we're not going to move him just to move him," GM Otis Smith said. "He wants to play, and rightfully so. He thinks he hasn't been given the opportunity.

    "You can say, 'I want to go somewhere else to play.' It's easy to say that but harder to do it. We're not giving him away. You're pretty much here. We do value J.J. I think he can play in this league."</div>

    Seems like posturing to me....Id like to see them get value though....In the mock, I had him traded for a 1st round pick before it was disallowed, so there may be some value....

    I think you could get some substantial for him. He hasn't proven anything at the NBA level, but there's no questioning his shooting ability. And it seems like every year, outside shooting is becoming more and more expensive on the free agent market.
