MagicBizkit87 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3631127Redick can call Orlando home through 2009-10 season ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Orlando Magic picked up their $2.8 million option on guard J.J. Redick for next season. The former Duke star has struggled to work his way into the backcourt rotation and last season asked for a trade. He was the first guard off the bench in the Magic's loss to Atlanta in the preseason opener Monday, scoring 12 points, and drew praise from coach Stan Van Gundy for his play in practices. Redick, the team's first-round pick in 2006, originally signed a two-year deal with two one-year options. He's making $2.1 million this season. Calls to Redick's agent, Arn Tellem, were not immediately returned. Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicBizkit87 Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Now if only he'll actually get playing time in meaning-full situations, instead of the time he gets to play when the Magic are up by 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor99 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 He can call the bench home. Quite possibly the most overrated college player of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicBizkit87 Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 I think he'll definitely get my playing time this year, but with Stan Van Gundy not being a fan, I doubt it'll be much. PG Nelson/C. Lee/A. Johnson SG Pietrus/Bogans/Redick With Courtney Lee getting time at the point, I think there's a better chance of playing time for him, but I don't see how he gets more time then Bogans. Seeing how Bogans is a better defensive player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
