The San Antonio Spurs have reportedly entered the market for Redick, and other teams with late first-round picks in the 2013 NBA Draft to deal include the Los Angeles Clippers, Oklahoma City Thunder, Denver Nuggets, Chicago Bulls, and Indiana Pacers.
Redick will become an unrestricted free agent this summer, and it is rumored that he will be looking for a four-year, $40 million deal. He may not get that much, but Redick figures to land something in excess of the mid-level exception on his next contract. For now, he’s a player that contenders are trying to acquire before the playoff push begins.
