The Orlando Magic have decided to retain restricted free agent guard J.J. Redick, matching the three-year, $19 million offer sheet he received from the Chicago Bulls last week. The Magic will make their intention known Friday – the last possible day -- but NBA sources familiar with the front-office thinking of the Magic confirmed their decision Thursday afternoon. "They aren't letting go of J.J.,'' said the source. Reddick is shown in the photo at left guarding Toronto's Marco Belinelli. The offer sheet from the Bulls includes a first-year salary of $7 million, which will cost the Magic $14 million next season because of the punitive, dollar-for-dollar luxury tax threshold the Magic will exceed. http://nba.fanhouse.com/2010/07/15/magic-to-keep-jj-redick-by-matching-offer-from-bulls/
They are so fucking retarded. They just signed Q-Rich, they don't need Redick. Fucking idiot Otis with another bone headed move.
^ No, Q-Rich is a more complete scorer. He can score in the post, shoot three's, he can also defend. Redick is primarily a jumpshooter. He can't really create his own shot.
Redick was pretty good in the last playoffs... at least, better than my favourtie player Vince. I think this will be a good move for the Magic.
