J.J. Redick

Over the last week or so, J.J. Redick has received a vast amount of interest from championship contenders like the Brooklyn Nets, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers, but he himself said he is not going to rush this decision. 

Recently on his podcast, Redick stated that he would not be in training camp, which is set to begin on Sept. 28, and that he would join a team at some point during the 2021-22 season to try and contend for a championship. Whether or not teams are willing to wait this long for Redick remains another question, but I am sure the teams mentioned above would have no problem leaving a roster spot open for a career 41.5% three-point shooter. 

J.J. Redick has bounced around quite a bit the last few years and while his role has decreased, the 37-year-old sharpshooter can still get hot from deep off-the-bench. In limited time with the Pelicans and Mavericks last season, Redick shot a combined 37.1% from three-point range, even though he was not attempting a lot of shots per game. 

The veteran guard is from the northeast, which is why many believe that he will look to sign a deal with teams like the Nets, 76ers or Celtics, but given his recent comments, it seems like Redick is going to see where his best chance to win a title is around midseason and then try to get a deal done.

We should not expect J.J. Redick to make a decision on where he will be playing anytime soon and if he stays true to his word, then we may not even hear his name come up until around the trade deadline next season! One thing that we do know though is that when Redick returns to the NBA, he will immediately be a guy teams will have to keep an eye on in terms of whose bench he is on.
