While team will look for needed assets like some picks, Redick apparently wants to play closer to his family – who are located in Brooklyn. Earlier, 26-year-old star has played with 76ers for two years, where he commuted to and from Brooklyn. While a similar situation is preferred, playing with Nets might be what Redick would most benefit from.

With New Orleans Pelicans, role he had has shifted to younger team franchise wants to perfect. With guards like Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Kira Lewis Jr, Redick is playing only 20 minutes per game. This season, he is also averaging a career-low 29.8% from three-point range and could maybe benefit by playing with a team that requires a veteran like him. 

Additionally, Redick has also missed games this season – t playing due to coach's decision. With a team aiming for title, Redick's experience and three-point shooting could only help more. Despite his numbers this season, guard has a career aver of 41.4% from  deep.
