Orlando Magic general manager Otis Smith plans to take “the full seven days” to decide whether to match an offer sheet the Chicago Bulls made for restricted free agent J.J. Redick.
Smith said Saturday that Redick is a “part of our team” and Orlando would “like to keep him.”
The Bulls reportedly signed Redick to a $19 million, three-year offer sheet. Because Redick is a restricted free agent, the Magic can match any offer for him within seven days.
Redick was the 11th overall pick in the 2006 draft after a standout career at Duke. He has steadily improved in the NBA, become a key player off the bench for the Magic and perhaps a future starter.
