Warriors already talking to NOP about Oubre and probably Redick tells you all you need to know about the NBA. Some just know how to win and some don't.

Ofcourse he's washed...thats why he's available.

He's an intelligent player, a guy that contenders can still use. Obviously not us though.


Jason Kidd was intelligent too, but once you pass a certain point as an athlete there's no coming back. From my recollection the last I saw Reddick play he was washed. And he's no Pablo Prigioni, if he cant score he's basically useless.

His off the ball movement and knowledge of the game are still game changers for contenders that wouldn't need to start him (or don't have Klay Thompson this year). Also, his 25mil expiring contract is a valuable part of his game if you will.

Good vid, Rick Smits wasnt bad in his prime.... Is KP less athletic than he was with the Knicks? I dont watch him too much now.

KP isn’t a bad player either but he’s overpaid on that contract and can’t stay healthy. Now questions are emerging about his fit with Luka.

I'm not sure he's better than Rik Smits to the extent that he's a "rich man's Rik Smits" tbh.

I mean he's arguably better than Smits by virtue of the 3-point shot, and how he stretches the floor, but Smits was a better scorer in the post and a guy who could get you a bucket.

Both are ultimately role players. 3rd option tops.

KP is definitely the softer of the two...but htat might not be fair - Rick Came up in a much tougher era

Nice interview with Dr J on JJ Redick's youtube channel. Nothing revolutionary, but a decent listen

They don't really play that much alike. Rik had a more fluid post game on both ends than KP. KP is a better athlete and shotblocker.
