Ken Berger: League source involved in J.J. Redick talks now believes there's a strong chance Redick stays in Orlando beyond deadline. Twitter @KBergCBS

Adrian Wojnarowski: Milwaukee has fallen back in pursuit of Redick, league sources tell Y! Sports. Bucks aren't out of it, but "less likely," one source says. Twitter @WojYahooNBA

Jeff McDonald: Spurs in mix for JJ Redick. Makes some sense. He fits what they do. Twitter @JMcDonald_SAEN

The reality is that Griz brass is trying to be opportunistic today in hopes of getting something for nothing at the 11th hour (Orlando has made it clear Redick can't be had for anything less than a first-round pick). As of this morning, the Griz were looking at their exceptions one of three ways: 1) acquiring a guard/swingman they like from the end of another team's bench 2) grabbing an established big man only if he's accompanied by a second-round pick 3) not using the exception at all.

Ken Berger: Bulls have cooled on J.J. Redick. Due to luxury tax, Chicago unlikely to pay him as a free agent this summer so reluctant to give up pick. Twitter @KBergCBS

Sources close to the situation say that talks with the Magic regarding a Redick for Shumpert deal have all but died. In addition, several sources from teams pursuing Shumpert have said that they believe New York will hold onto him for now. HoopsWorld
