Changing of the guard in store for Milwaukee Bucks this off-season?
Despite finishing six games under five hundred, the Milwaukee Bucks earned the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Mired in mediocrity, the Bucks already hired Larry Drew as their new head coach and there could be a changing of the guard this off-season as well since both Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis will likely test the free agent waters.

Changing of guards? Magic could shake things up
The Orlando Magic began the 2012-13 season with Jameer Nelson and Arron Afflalo as their starting guards, with J.J. Redick coming off the bench and demonstrating how he had developed into more than just a 3-point shooter.
By April, both Nelson and Afflalo were shut down because of injuries and Redick had been traded to the Milwaukee Bucks. In their places were a veteran point guard...
Most Underrated NBA Free Agents at Every Position

Bucks to choose Ellis over Jennings in guard dilemma
via Twitter
The Milwaukee Bucks have three guards who can score- Brandon Jennings, JJ Redick and Monta Ellis. Only Brandon Jennings is considered as a point guard, and the combination of Jennings and Ellis was not considered as a success. Most speculation had Redick and one of the two. Jennings was the possible candidate as he’s a Buck draftee and is a point guard. However, rumblings...
Talent the goal in Magic's draft
With a little more than a month to go before the NBA Draft, the Magic have almost certainly gotten a good feel for who they want to draft and what their goals are going to be. The only reason we can address these goals now is that until the draft order was set it was difficult to get a sense of what scenarios might play out.
One thing should hold true even dating back to the...

Rather than retaining the erratic J.R. Smith, the New York Knicks should aggressively pursue J. J. Redick
Less than 24 hours after New York was eliminated by the Pacers 106-99 in Indiana, its evident the Knicks should allow shooting guard J.R. Smith to leave as a free agent this summer. Finishing Game 6 with 15 points on 4-of-15 shooting, the 27-year-old Smith connected on a hideous 28.9 percent of his attempts in the series against Indiana. As the 2013 Sixth-Man of the Year winner,...

Redick faced 'uphill battle' in crowded backcourt
ST. FRANCIS, Wis. -- J.J. Redick was brought to Milwaukee to help the Bucks climb out of the eighth spot and possibly make some noise in the playoffs.
While Redick certainly isn't to blame for the disappointing end to Milwaukee's season, the veteran shooting guard never found his shooting touch and never really fit in with the rest of the Bucks roster.
Acquired from Orlando...

J.J. Redick says he could beat both Shane Battier and Mike Dunleavy in Jeopardy
A competitive game of Jeopardy seems to be on the horizon
The Duke trio of J.J. Redick, Shane Battier and Mike Dunleavy are in a battle of who would win in a game of Jeopardy. It probably would be more competitive than the current Milwaukee/Miami first round playoff series the three are currently involved in. Of course barring an upset for the ages, Battier is likely to win that...
J.J. Redick says he Hasn’t Spoken to Bucks Coach During Playoffs
Not exactly the best formula for beating the Miami Heat in 6 games, I think. The Milwaukee Bucks find themselves at the mercy of the Miami Heat, and guard J.J. Redick decided to let this be known about the state of the team and the state of his particular relationship with head coach Jim Boylan. [...]
J.J. Redick says that he Hasn’t Spoken to Bucks Coach During Playoffs
So I guess this means that J.J. Redick won’t be re-signing with the Milwaukee Bucks after his contract expires after the season.
It’s been all downhill for the Bucks since point guard Brandon Jennings guaranteed that they would beat the Miami Heat in six games. They’ve been soundly defeated in three straight games and are on their way to being swept by the reigning champions...
J.J. Redick Says He Hasn’t Spoken To Coach Boylan Since Playoffs Began

JJ Redick: I have not spoken to Jim Boylan during the playoffs
The Milwaukee Bucks stood little to no chance against the Miami Heat to begin with heading into the first round of the playoffs, but they might as well pack their bags now. Miami took a commanding 3-0 series lead with a 104-91 win in Milwaukee on Thursday night. If it wasn’t already over, it is now.
One of the lone bright spots on the night for the Bucks was JJ Redick, who scored...
We want J.J. Redick to play
There is not a whole ton for Magic fans to watch basketball-wise right now.
The Magic are not in the Playoffs and there are few players that would interest Magic fans. If you are watching the Playoffs, it is likely because you love basketball or are pining to fill an empty hole in your heart for Playoff basketball.
One player most Magic fans want to do well is J.J. Redick...
No rest for the Bucks before the playoffs
MILWAUKEE For a short period of time, the Milwaukee Bucks looked like they finally were going to have a game break their way.
Monta Ellis fought through an intestinal bug and was in one of his fourth quarter zones, J.J. Redick was hitting three-pointers and a four-point play by Ellis gave Milwaukee the lead with 14.2 seconds left.
But again the Bucks just couldn't get a win...

J.J. Redick’s Return To Orlando Was The Complete Opposite of Dwight Howard’s
I live approximately 3,000 miles away from Orlando, so I don’t know much about the connection former Magic (and current Milwaukee Bucks) shooting guard J.J. Redick had with the city where he spent the first six and a half years of his career. But clearly it was something special, as Redick returned to Orlando for the first time since being traded in February, and was showered with...
