New Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Redick did not hold back anything while talking about the New Orleans Pelicans front office on his podcast, the Old Man and the Three.
Redick said he made a trade request before the season, knowing that he wouldn’t be in the team plans with Stan Van Gundy taking over. He had several conversations with David Griffin and Trajan Langdon, who basically told him that they would get him to a situation he liked.
Redick wanted to get a buyout or get traded to a team in the Northeast to be close to his family in Brooklyn: “I look at the buyout situation not as Oh I’m going to get bought and go to Brooklyn. I just wanted to be able to, on an off day, go see my family and be within driving distance.”
“Obviously, he did not honor his word,” Redick said about Griffin.
“I don’t think you’re going to get honesty from that front office, objectively speaking. That’s not an opinion, I just don’t think you’re gonna get that. I don’t think what happened with me is necessarily an isolated incident. It’s not something where I would expect certainly the agents who worked on this with me to ever trust that front office again.”
