Report: J.J. Redick turns down multiple offers, opts for one-year deal with Sixers instead

NBA free agency is less than 24 hours old and Bryan Colangelo appears to have already landed the veteran shooter his team lacked. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Sixers have signed shooting guard J.J. Redick to a one-year deal worth $23 million.

JJ Redick has agreed to a one-year, $23 million deal with the 76ers, league sources tell ESPN.

After previous reports suggested that Redick was looking to sign a multi-year deal, the Duke product apparently turned down longer deals – including one in Brooklyn, where Redick bought a $4.25 million penthouse just last summer – in order to sign on with the Sixers for one season:

Put it like this—the $$/length details on known interest from BRK/MIN are murky. But there's a lot that went into Redick's decision.

And although the deal can't be made official for a few more days, it seems all but done.

With Redick in the fold, the Sixers roster now stands at 14 players, meaning they have one more spot to fill. They also have plenty of money to use.

Put the #sixers roster at 14 players and ~$26.12 million remaining in cap space.

Here's a look at how their roster currently breaks down by position:

PG: Fultz/Bayless/TJ
SG: JJ/TLC/Sauce
SF: RoCo/Anderson/Furkan
PF: Ben/Dario
C: JoJo/Holmes/Jah

ROSTER SPOTS = 1
CAP ROOM ≈ $27 mil

NBA rosters expand to 20 during the offseason, so Colangelo should have plenty of ways he can go when it come to filling out his roster.
