ORLANDO, Fla. - No matter what happens in the remainder of these playoffs, at least the Orlando Magic can say they contributed to the betterment of the NBA.

J.J. Redick expects to return to the Magic next season, but is not backing down on his request for more time on the court, the Orlando Sentinel reports. "I want to play ... There were a lot of things that were said last summer and in the preseason, you know, and I thought I was going to play," Redick said. "It didn’t happen." The paper also reports that Keyon Dooling will be a priority in the offseason, partially because Carlos Arroyo is not expected to return. Pat Garrity is a question mark due to possible retirement, and James Augustine is not expected back. (updated: 05/14/2008)
