The Philadelphia 76ers may have suffered elimination from the playoffs in the second round against the Boston Celtics, but they can still class this season as a huge success.

From winning just 10 games two years ago to amassing 52 wins this campaign and reaching the Eastern Conference semi-finals, it's certainly more than any Sixers fans could've imagined at this stage of "The Process".

Finally getting Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons on the court together played a huge part in their great season as the talented duo added another dimension to the team.

But another player who had a key role was veteran J.J. Redick whose veteran presence and experience was vital.

The 76ers raised some eyebrows when they signed the three-point marksman to a one-year, $23 million deal last summer.

It may have been a huge outlay for a 33-year-old but it proved to be a sound investment as Redick enjoyed a solid year.

The Philadelphia front office will now be faced with a decision in the offseason when the shooting guard's contract expires.

Redick, himself, is extremely keen to remain with the franchise after claiming to have had his most enjoyable year in the league in all of his 12 seasons.

"This was probably my favourite year of my career," Redick said, per The Athletic's Derek Bodner. "Playing in Philly is its own experience. The buzz about this team was amazing."

The sharpshooter took a gamble by only signing a one-year deal with the 76ers despite having a longer offer on the table from the Houston Rockets.

Although he's keen on re-signing with Philly, he understands that the organisation will have to make a business decision.

"We all hope that I am back," Redick said, per ESPN. "The numbers can get tricky. It's not my job to worry about that.

"I will let [Sixers president and general manager Bryan Colangelo], my agent and the events over the next two months play out, and we will make a decision."

He added some much-needed three-point shooting to their roster and finished the season as their second leading scorer with 17.1 points per game.

That improved to 18.2 points in the playoffs as he became a hugely important offensive option.

Redick told reporters that there was mutual interest between the two parties to see him back in a Sixers uniform next season.

"I think it is a mutual appreciation," Redick said. "I am sure we all hope I am back."
