More from Griffin: "However, it was Redick's desire to dive into the role of mentor and veteran leader that spoke most directly to us and has us most excited about our future together. We are thrilled to be able to welcome JJ and his family to New Orleans and our community.”

Booyah!

This is a nice little intro article on Redick. Nothing that we didn't already know, but still, a good little repository of info for any newer fans.
Last year, JJ Redick shot 39.7% on threes. He took 8 of them per game. That means he made 240 threes last season.
Just for comparison, E'twaun Moore made 76 threes last season. Darius Miller made 133. Frank Jackson made 53.
That means Moore, Miller, and Jackson combined made a total of 262 threes over a combined 183 games. Redick played 76.

There was a panic? Da figgle?
On another note, great to know the team already has his replacement over in Australia in senhor Silva. He shot 44% (8/18) from 3 in SL and before that last terrible shooting game, he was at 55% (6 /11). Also showed great on ball/passing lane defense.
There were a couple of people who were concerned that, especially wiht Marcus Morris pulling out of his deal with San Antonio and the history of things like DeAndre Jordan backing out of Dallas, the silence surrounding Redick was a bad sign. There was no good reason to think that, but I can understand the anxiety: we're Pels fans, we expect things to go badly.Originally Posted by Eman5805
Thanks for understanding buddy
Following up this legit statistical point, here's a pointless piece of information:
JJ Redick is tied for 4th highest 3pt rating in NBA 2K20. He is tied with Buddy Hield, at a 90 rating. The top 5 are:
Stephen Curry - 99 3pt shot
Klay Thompson - 97 3pt shot
Joe Harris - 94 3 pt shot
Redick/Hield - 90 3 pt shot
Just what I needed... A reminder that we traded a top 5 shooter for a one rental
If it helps, just remember that we currently have another top 5 shooter on the roster.
2 years with the possibility of more
I think he was referring to Hield for Cousins.
Some people prefer whinging over reality. Wasn't going to be a one year rental (it was 2 seasons anyway) until the injury.
2 yr rental.
How does 1 year expiring at the trade deadline turn into 2 years...
On top of that... he only played 1 calendar year because of injuries
Oh, wait... not a calendar year. Just 65 games. Sit down you clowns
In fairness, the reason he only played 65 games WAS the injury, that nobody could have seen coming.
It was an 18 month rental, with the possibility of more. The injury cut things short, and then he left, so obviously in hindsight it looks awful. If Cousins had played 82 games and then resigned, it would have been a coup for Dell. Things happen.
I'm glad that things went the way they did because it set us up for what we have now, which is awesome.
He played in two separate seasons for us. That's 2 years. There is no way to rewrite it as a 1 year rental.
It was intended to be a long-term relationship that ended up being a one year rental. It was never 2 years. When the deal was made, everyone laughed at the Kings. They certainly got the last laugh due to our (and Boogie's) unfortunate bad luck.
Year and a half.
