New Bucks' GM John Hammond and Coach Scott Skiles both reached out to Michael Redd recently to assure him that despite rumors to the contrary, he is not on the trade block at this point, the Milwaukee Journal-Constitution is reporting.

"They called me and said they had not initiated talks about a trade and not to pay attention to what was being said," Redd said. "Out of respect, they wanted to tell me to ignore those rumors."

"It just showed me how John (Hammond) was as a person, and I appreciated that call."

Redd knows, however, that even though the team is not actively shopping him, there is no guarantee he'll be back in Milwaukee next season.
