Listened to the latest J.J. Redick podcast. He didn't go into details but he mentioned as an aside that he was 1 hour from signing with Indiana before the Sixers increased their offer. Sounds like he was offered the 1 year/12M deal that Evans eventually got.
As an aside, does anyone remember when Redick was a draft bust?
He was the 11th pick. I know people didn't think he would work out well, but even his first few seasons he was at worst going to end up as a bench 3 point specialist. Now maybe for the 11th pick you want more than that (though historically you rarely get more than rotation level players in that range). He certainly developed into a much better player than that.
