As J.J. Redick waits to learn whether he'll play for the Orlando Magic or the Chicago Bulls next season, he might be surprised to find out that the final determination about his future could be made in Grand Rapids, Mich. If General Manager Otis Smith decides he wants to match the Bulls' three-year, $19 million offer sheet for Redick, Smith will have to receive final approval from Magic Owner Rich DeVos and President Bob Vander Weide. "With pretty much every decision that we've made here as it relates to this basketball team, ownership is heavily involved. I think I've said all along that if we don't have the best owners in all of pro sports, I'd be hard-pressed to find one, because they've stepped to the plate every time I've asked them to step up to the plate," Smith said. "I'm sure this decision won't come easy, but I think they'll step up to the plate if we ask them to do it now." Re-signing Redick would send the Magic even deeper into the NBA luxury tax. The Magic will have to pay a $1 penalty for every $1 they spend next season in team payroll above $70.3 million. After their signings of free agents Chris Duhon and Quentin Richardson, the Magic's salary for the 2010-11 season already hovers around $84 million. The Sentinel asked Vander Weide via e-mail Tuesday whether he and DeVos would approve re-signing Redick. Vander Weide, who lives in Grand Rapids, did not return the message immediately. The Magic have until Friday to decide Redick's fate, and Smith might take the full time to explore potential trades that would pare down his team's salary. Teams have expressed interest in trading for backup center Marcin Gortat this offseason, but Smith has indicated that none of those offers have made sense for the Magic. Matt Barnes' future could depend on what the Magic do with Redick. If Redick comes back to Orlando, Richardson could play almost exclusively at small forward, which is Barnes' position. On Tuesday, however, Smith said he had not ruled out re-signing Barnes. The general manager also said he has no immediate plans to add a third point guard. "I'm going to take my time," Smith said. "I don't think that needs to be a rush at all." http://tinyurl.com/2e9e4g7 Smith氣定神閒~完全不著急 -- http://0rz.tw/s0TXf "咩森WII謀?" "賀啊" -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.167.154.11
