The big names rumored to be on the move at the NBA's trade deadline went nowhere on Thursday as teams opted for tweaks over blockbusters.
The Orlando Magic (15-39), with the second worst record in the Eastern Conference, pulled the trigger on the day's biggest swap, shipping sharpshooting guard J.J. Redick to the Milwaukee Bucks in a multi-player deal, according to media reports.
Redick, who is among the league's top 3-point shooters, averaging a career-high 15.1 points this season, was sent to Milwaukee along with Gustavo Ayon and Ish Smith in return for Tobias Harris, Beno Udrih and Doron Lamb.
