Magic general manager Otis Smith expects guard J.J. Redick to receive interest as a restricted free agent this summer.

Smith said he's been impressed with Redick's improvement since the club drafted him in 2006, but added, "I'm not going to bid against myself" to retain Redick.

"We know how he's done over the last couple of years," the general manager said. "I think that J.J.'s on the incline. We like him on our team, but you have to evaluate everything."
