Free agent J.J. Redick has expressed interest in joining the Houston Rockets, according to Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times.
Redick also still has interest in joining both the Nets and Sixers, Turner reports:

The Sixers are said to be offering a lucrative deal worth just one season, while Houston has interest in pairing Redick with former teammate in Los Angeles Chris Paul. Paul, Redick and the Rockets have communicated extensively over the past several hours, working to find a way to make the deal work.
Brooklyn and Philadelphia share an interest in Redick largely because of how respected he is by his peers. Both clubs are in need of veteran leaders, the kind of players who can work to make the locker room a better place while also providing solid on-court production.
The Clippers, according to media reports, will not re-sign Redick. He spent four seasons in total with the club.
In 78 games with Los Angeles last season, Redick averaged 15 points, 2.2 rebound and 1.1 assists per contest. He shot a scorching 43 percent from 3-point range and 45 percent from the floor.
