3. JJ Redick

JJ Redick ended last season with the Dallas Mavericks, but it was not where he wanted to be. The New Orleans Pelicans were looking to trade him and Redick was under the impression he would be bought out if a trade could not be completed that landed him closer to his family.

Redick battled injuries throughout the 2020-21 season, resulting in him shooting 37.1 percent from the 3-point line; the second-lowest shooting percentage for him in a season. That goes to show how good of a shooter JJ Redick is, as many players would love for 37.1 percent to be a nearly career-low.

But, when you are a 41.5 percent career shooter like Redick, that just won’t cut it. He did shoot the ball better with the Mavericks, connecting at a 39.4 percent clip, so he can still shoot the ball. That is a skill that contending teams can never get enough of and Redick should be a prime ring-chasing target for Brooklyn to target.

At 37-years old, JJ Redick is in the twilight of his career. He won’t have many chances left to win an NBA Championship and the Nets present him with the chance to be close to his family.

Redick lives in Brooklyn, so outside of the New York Knicks, there isn’t a team that can provide him that opportunity to be as close to home as he wishes to be. His family could be as much of a deciding factor as any, giving Brooklyn a leg-up on the competition.
