Bucks' guard Michael Redd made another statement that indicates he would like to stay in Milwaukee, despite the attention he knows he will receive when he can become a free-agent at season's end.

"I've always said I enjoy my team in Milwaukee. I really don't want to go anywhere else," he said Thursday night after his team's 85-77 loss in Chicago. "But we'll deal with it at the end of the season. Milwaukee fans have treated me tremendously. The organization has treated me top-notch. We'll see what happens. I really can't answer that question now. If I dwell on that too much I think it would affect my play and I don't want it to affect my play."

The Bucks still will hold Redd's early Bird rights, meaning they can offer him more money than any other team.
