JJ Redick Signs with Orlando Magic
Experienced Shooter Joins Rebuilding Team
Three-Year Contract Announced
Former Brooklyn Nets shooting guard JJ Redick has signed a three-year, $19.69 million contract with the Orlando Magic, including a $500,000 signing bonus, according to ESPN. The move comes after Redick was bought out by the Philadelphia 76ers earlier this month. Redick, 33, is a veteran of 13 NBA seasons, having played for the Magic, Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, New Orleans Pelicans, and Dallas Mavericks. He is a career 44.7% three-point shooter and has averaged 11.6 points per game for his career. Redick was a key part of the 76ers' run to the Eastern Conference semifinals last season. The Magic are in a rebuilding mode after trading away All-Star center Nikola Vucevic to the Chicago Bulls last month. Redick will provide experience and shooting to a young team that is led by rookie Paolo Banchero. Conclusion: Redick's signing is a solid move for the Magic, who are looking to add veteran leadership and shooting to their young team. Redick is a proven scorer and shooter, and he should be able to help the Magic improve their offense.
