07/16/2010 - Orlando, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Magic have matched the Chicago Bulls' offer sheet for J.J. Redick, meaning the shooting guard will remain in Orlando for the foreseeable future.
The Bulls had given Redick, a restricted free agent, a reported three-year, $19 million offer sheet last Friday, and the Magic had seven days to match it.
Redick, selected with the 11th overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft, had his best season in 2009-10. The Duke product averaged 9.6 points and 1.9 assists while shooting 40.5 percent from three-point range and 43.9 percent from the field overall.
The 6-foot-4, 190-pound sharpshooter averaged over 22 minutes in 82 regular season games, nearly five minutes more than his previous personal high.
"J.J. (Redick) is a valuable part of our organization, both on the court and in our community," said Magic general manager Otis Smith. "He has worked extremely hard during his four seasons with us and improved every year. We're happy that J.J. will be back to help us reach our ultimate goal."
Redick, 26, owns career averages of 7.0 points and 1.3 assists over 222 games that have all come with the Magic.

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
