JJ Redick?

[NJNetz]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>By signing guard Mickeal Pietrus, the Orlando Magic may finally be prepared to part ways with J.J. Redick, the Associated Press is reporting.

Redick has been asking for a trade for months, but the Magic have wanted to keep the former Duke star.

"I have four [shooting guards] and only one at the position right next to it," GM Otis Smith said, "so there's still some more work to be done."</div>

whats the offer? They wont give him away....

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Ive been proposing a Marcus for Reddick swap for a while now. But it may have to expand into something bigger, like:

Marcus, Boone, and Stro for Redick, Battie, and a protected 2010 pick

 

[TheBeef]

I think the Magic would likely take that deal....Marcus gives them depth at the point, Boone gives them depth up front and both guys are young and could help for several years....Swift for Battie is a step back, but Swift will be expiring, so theres value there as well....the pick would likely be a low 1st....

I hate Redick. Please god no.

 

[SeanWilliamsTheFuture51]

that would be sweet but then we would have to get a backup pg unless they want Jaycce as the backup lol.

 

[NJNetz]

I was actually thinking something along the lines of Marcus Williams for JJ Redick.

I was soo tempted to delete this thread when I saw it.

I'll hold back, and just stick with saying - hell no.

There's a few guys who can do what he does, except probably better - one is Carroll, another is Salim Stoudemire (UFA).

I see absolutely no point in picking him up.

I'm glad you didn't because that would have been abuse of mod powers.

Actually, I thought it was another pointless thread (Along the lines of a JR Smith thread, who we're never acquiring).

Then, I saw it was you.

So that's where my Roy Hibbert and Jeff Green threads went!

JJ could have made sense a little while ago. I think I'd rather have the cheaper Jaycee Carroll.

Hell no. We are slowly turning into a college team.

 

[SportsTicker]

Q. Who was his first NBA coach? Who thought he was so bad defensively and so one-dimensional offensively that he resisted calls to bring him off the bench? Whose assessments were confirmed by the coach that replaced him?

A. Brian Hill.

Moving right along...

I don't think you could have two more opposite players in CDR and Reddick.

I would agree with this statement.

I think he's getting more to the fact that they play the same position and would have to battle each other for minutes. Why sign one young, fringe guard when you have another promising one on your team?

(correct me if I'm wrong, imanetsfan!)

 

[imanetsfan]

yeah thats what i mean to say...

I understand that, but getting JJ Reddick would follow the trend this off-season of getting shooters, and we are yet to get one at the guard position. So I would understand it if Thorn and Kiki wanted him, but I don't see it happening unless we get rid of some of our 75 big men.
