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)."
