The new-look Houston Rockets have caught the attention of J.J. Redick.

Hitting unrestricted free agency, sharpshooting guard Redick is reportedly interested in signing with the Rockets, as long as the money is right, a source told the Los Angeles Times' Brad Turner.

The 33-year-old will reportedly command between $16 million-to-$18 million per year, with both the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers also on Redick's radar.

The Los Angeles Clippers recently traded All-Star floor general Chris Paul - Redick's teammate for four seasons with the franchise - to Houston for a colossal package of picks, players, and cash that included Lou Williams, Sam Dekker, and Patrick Beverley.

The 3-point shot was the most crucial ingredient to Houston's No. 2-ranked offense in 2016-17, with the Rockets leading the Association in makes (14.4) and, by a wider margin, attempts (40.3) from behind the arc. That's essentially Redick's bread and butter, as he's a career 41.5 percent 3-point shooter who converted 42.9 percent in 78 appearances last season with the Clippers.
