Some news came out today that the Rockets, who were in pursuit of J.J. Redick, actually offered him more money than he accepted in Philly. He signed with the Sixers on a 1-year, $23 million deal earlier this month.
To be fair, Redick said that the Rockets offered more money total than the Sixers. This likely means that Houston was willing to give him a multi-year offer, unlike Philadelphia. In the end, he chose to trust the process.
While it is disappointing that the Rockets did not get a player the quality of Redick, was it really a blessing in disguise?
