The LA Clippers’ season ended in the first round of the playoffs, starting a summer of questions about the roster that features several prominent free agents. One of those names on that list is unrestricted shooting guard J.J. Redick, who is expected to command interest from several teams. Adrian Wojnarowski discussed that and more in a recent podcast, which the folks at NetsDaily.com transcribed:
In a podcast recorded after the dust had settled from the NBA Draft Lottery, Adrian Wojnarowski said J.J. Redick, an unrestricted free agent this summer, is being sought not just by the Clippers, but by three Atlantic Division teams, the Nets, Knicks and 76ers.
Woj stated that the Sixers appear to have the most interest, but that the Nets may want to add the 6’4” shooting guard, if the price is right.
“Brooklyn, the Knicks are teams that have interest in Redick. We’ll see how far they’re willing to pay,” Woj noted.

Woj said Philly would appear to be in the lead for the Duke legend.
“Redick is a guy who at least in the short term who give them a guy who comes in and start to space the floor a little bit and gives them the reason why they wanted Manu Ginobili last year… they wanted Manu to come in and be a mentor, be a veteran.
Redick of course recently purchased a $4 million condo in Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood. Earlier this week, Jeremy Lin said he’s been working out with his Nets teammates and Redick, making it seem that Redick has been working out at HSS Training Center.
Woj said Redick could fill the veterans void for the Nets
“He impacts a locker room and I do think for Brooklyn, for New York, for Philadelphia, that’s a big part of the appeal for Redick,” he said.
