When former Los Angeles Clippers

When former Los Angeles Clippers SG J.J. Redick signed a one-year, $23 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers this offseason, it seemed like a pretty solid move for the veteran. As you can imagine, it’s probably pretty tough to turn down $23 million for one season, plus Redick was joining a young up-and-coming team.

But apparently, Redick also had the option to join the Houston Rockets, and if he had gone there, he would have made even more total money than he is with the 76ers. As Michael K-B of 247Sports reported, Redick turned down more money because the role the Rockets were offering wasn’t what he wanted.

J.J. Redick said on his new podcast that the #rockets offered him more total money than #sixers. Said role in Houston wasn't what he wanted.

Here’s a look at Redick’s quote, courtesy of Kurt Helin of NBC Sports:

“It wasn’t about the money. Houston offered me more money than Philly. Total money. They offered me more money. I knew in Houston, I was going to come off of the bench. Me and Eric Gordon do a lot of the same things… It wasn’t necessarily going to be what I wanted at this point in my career for the court part of it.”
