League sources say Danny Ainge made a bid for the Orlando Magic?s J.J. Redick recently, a guard he?s long coveted, but an offer of J.R. Giddens and Gabe Pruitt couldn?t come close to prying Redick.

The Magic aren't eager to help Boston as it is.

League executives say Ainge has become more persistent this week in searching out deals, but as a Western Conference executive said, ?He just doesn?t have any players that anyone wants.?
