July 10, 2008 Despite drafting Courtney Lee and signing Mickael Pietrus, J.J. Redick will remain with the Orlando Magic, according to the Orlando Sentinel. "I still think the kid can play for us. I feel no differently about him today than I felt yesterday and the day before. I feel he can be a very good backup 2-guard for us," said Magic GM Otis Smith. Our View:Redick doesn't see much court time, receiving only about eight minute per game last year. If he could ever get out of Orlando, he might be of some fantasy value due to his shooting acumen. |

June 24, 2008 J.J. Redick isn't likely to be dealt by the Magic, according to the Orlando Sentinel. GM Otis Smith said, "We're not looking to move J.J. If it doesn't make sense, we're not going to move him just to move him. He wants to play, and rightfully so. He thinks he hasn't been given the opportunity." Our View:Redick has talent and was the 11th overall pick of the 2006 NBA Draft, but he was reduced to only 8.1 minutes of action per game in 2007-08. He wants to be dealt, but it doesn't look like the team will grant his wish. |

May 15, 2008 J.J. Redick wants more playing time next season, as reported by the Sun Sentinel. Redick played in just 34 games this season and saw limited minutes in two postseason contests for Orlando, which was eliminated Monday by Detroit in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Redick said, "I want to play. There were a lot of things that were said last summer and in the preseason, and I thought I was going to play. It didn’t happen." The team thinks he is a good player, but just envisions him as a backup shooting guard. Our View:The sharp-shooter was the 11th overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft, and hit 39.5% of his shots from long range this season. If he leaves Orlando and lands a starting gig, he could make an impact as a fantasy performer. |

May 14, 2008 Magic general manager Otis Smith is open to trading J.J. Redick this offseason, the Orlando Sentinel reports. Redick has two years remaining on his rookie contract. Our View:Redick has averaged less than 12 minutes per game in 76 contests since becoming the 11th overall pick. The team clearly hasn't tried to get him much involved in their offense, and the sharpshooter would probably benefit from a change of scenery. |

May 8, 2008 J.J. Redick has been placed on the inactive list by the Magic on Wednesday, according to Florida Today. The team stated the reason to be tendinitis in Redick's left foot. Forward James Augustine was added to the active roster. Our View:Redick has been displeased all season with his playing time and once requested a trade. He only averaged 8.1 minutes (and 4.1 points) per game in the regular season. |

April 16, 2008 The normal starters for the Orlando Magic got limited playing time as the playoffs approach, giving former college star and backup PG J.J. Redick an opportunity to shine. Redick went 7-of-14 from the floor and 4-of-8 from the three-point line to score 18 points. Our View:The rest of Redick's numbers fail to impress (four rebounds, three assists), but Redick has always been a scorer and tonight's opportunity to play gave him an avenue to do just that. |

February 29, 2008 J.J. Redick played 16 minutes and scored 10 points during Wednesday's game, but you can expect him to return to his usual spot in the DNP section of the box score. "It was not any grand plan. We were just searching," said Magic coach Stan Van Gundy, according to the Orlando Sentinel. "The guys who had been playing weren't playing great anyway, so then you give somebody else a chance. You give some minutes to J.J." Redick has been a total bust since being taken 11th overall in 2006. And while the Magic continue to say they believe in his skills, they don't believe in him enough to actually use him in games. Neither should you. |

February 17, 2008 J.J. Redick doesn't see the floor much for the Magic, but the team insists it's not because of a lack of talent. "I don't think it's a matter of him not being able to play," general manager Otis Smith tells The Ledger. "He's capable of playing in this league, and capable of playing on this team. We just have to create spot for him... He has to wait his turn." |
