Arn Tellem, the agent for Orlando guard J.J. Redick, has suggested that the team trade his client so he can gain some more playing time.
Magic GM Otis Smith commented on Tellem's request.
"I told him what I tell everybody else," Smith told the Sentinel. "Why would I do that before I've really seen him? So he can do something somewhere else? I think J.J. can play."
"He has to have patience. It's the worst thing for young guys, having patience. I know. I was that guy (when Smith played in the NBA)."

Jason Williams, who will be part of the 2008 free agent class, has expressed interest through friends in playing for the Orlando Magic next season according to Tim Povtak of the Orlando Sentinel.
Williams played collegiate basketball locally for the University of Florida.
Jameer Nelson signed a lengthy extension last summer, but both Carlos Arroyo and Keyon Dooling are in the final season of their current contracts.
This season, Williams has a per 40 FIC of 10.4, which is just slightly above the NBA's median for this statistic which RealGM uses to measure efficiency.
