Clippers shooting guard J.J. Redick is a classy guy, so it was no surprise that he had sentimental feelings about the acquisition of forward Jeff Green from Memphis that sent Lance Stephenson packing there.

“I have known Jeff a long time,” Redick said following the Clippers’ 105-86 victory over the visiting San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. “We played against each other going back to college. I think he’s a great addition. Lance  was awesome. He’s a teammate; he’s a locker-room guy. He was great in our group. I wish him the best. I really hope he finds a situation where he can showcase all of his talents.”
