RE: J.J. Redick Signs with Philly. One Year 23 MILLION!!

in #nba8 years ago

Massive overpayment. If we really wanted him, which we don't, woulda make him take some risk by offering him $23mm over 3 years-- make Redick bet on the Sixers youngsters-- fully invested. As it is, what kind of veteran presence is a guy who's flitted around the NBA looking for max dollars and pre-rigged playoff contention. Want veteran presence, keep somebody around long enough to build it. Russell Westbrook is veteran presence. He's loyal to a fault, plays his ass off on both sides of court to exhaustion, and is the obvious leader of the team able to just stare at youngsters like a momma lion with her cubs to keep them in line.

Well tell me how you really feel! Hahaha yes I was pretty surprised it was for 23 million too. Let's hope he does better than we predict. I think he's an ok signing just not for that much money.
