QUOTE Orlando Magic restricted free-agent guard J.J. Redick(notes) is close to signing a three-year offer sheet worth about $19 million with the Chicago Bulls, a league executive told Yahoo! Sports. Redick could sign the agreement as soon as the weekend, a source said. |

Would have liked it better if we got him at about 15-16 mil instead of 19.. Still need to find a quality starter though. JJ Redick isn't a starter and neither is Korver. We need defense from the 2 spot now, I'd still go after Ronnie Brewer and possibly a big man down low that'll bang like Craig Smith or Udanis Haslem.

They had to front load it in an expensive contract in order for Orlando not to match. Orlando's payroll is a little over 84 million right now with 11 players. I would be shocked if Orlando matched it and took their payroll to over 90 million just to retain Reddick. However Ric Bucher is reporting other GMs expect Magic to match. I don't hate this contract- I think they paid a premium for Reddick, but he'll be another player who fits Rose very well. I think he's slightly overrated as a shooter on the NBA level, but underrated as a defender. This would be another great addition to our Bullies. As for adding another big man...the Bulls are about to bring Asik over. http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/chicago-bu...-omer-asik.html QUOTE The Bulls also reached agreement on a deal with big man Omer Asik of Turkey. Asik will play for Turkey in the World Championships and will not be with the team until then. The Bulls are quietly optimistic about Asik and believe he can be a high level reserve behind Joakim Noah, which reduces their concern about adding another big man.

I wouldn't be surprised if they matched... I think the magic are figuring that they will move VC or pietrus before the deadline.
a depth chart of Rose / someone Redick / Korver Deng / Johnson Boozer / Gibson Noah / Asik doesn't look too terrible imo |

i like the signing a lot as long as they dont plan on having him as the starter. i think they will trade for a SG still, someone like iguodala would be a perfect fit. but redick can really shoot the ball and is a solid defender as well.

Somebody has to start between Korver and Reddick. I'd still like a lockdown defender at the SG in the Raja Bell, Matt Barnes mode. Tony Allen would be a great get too. Still need a backup PG tho... |

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Tony Allen have some beef with a gang in Chicago or something? I remember in the playoffs the UC had to tighten security for him but I don't quite remember what it was.

From what I read, the Magic actually have to pay $14 million to match the Bulls' $7 million offer because they are in the luxury tax. That makes this interesting.

Shrewd move by Bulls front office to make Orlando pay double if that is really the case. We could end up with a really decent shooting team if we pull this off. I had JJ on my fantasy team last season and he was good for about two three's a game. He also shot 86% from the free throw line. Nice to have on your bench to strengthen your secondary unit.

The Magic signed Quentin Richardson today, which basically means JJ Redick is a Chicago Bull.
I sure hope that efficiency translates to starter's minutes... |
