Orlando To Match Deal For Redick

[RipCity32]

The Orlando Magic will match Chicago's three-year, $19 million offer sheet for guard J.J. Redick.

The Magic will make their intention known Friday – the last possible day -- but NBA sources familiar with the front-office thinking of the Magic confirmed their decision Thursday afternoon.

"They aren't letting go of J.J.,'' said the source.

This move will put The Magic's payroll at around $84 million and cost them $15 million in Luxury Tax payments with one player to sign to reach the 13-man roster requirement.

6 million a year for JJ is a lot, but the apparently the Magic wanted him that bad lol.

damn, thats an awful lot. honestly though i think the bulls should just sign brewer. hes a better option for them, i think.

the magic have a lot of expensive depth now, lol.

Right as I made this:

I'm not that surprised though. Carter's deal runs up in a year, so Redick can run another year as a key backup before making it as a full-time starter.

Ha, thank you. I kind of rushed it, probably could have made it a bit better, just wanted to get one out. All for nothing now, though.
