Last update: October 7, 2008 - 11:45 PM

Elgin Baylor resigned as vice president of basketball operations with the Los Angeles Clippers, and coach Mike Dunleavy will assume his responsibilities as general manager.

Baylor, 74 spent 22 years as an executive with the team. He became vice president of basketball operations with the Clippers in 1986.

The Clippers have been one of the NBA’s least successful franchises over the years, but they beat Denver in the first round of the playoffs following the 2005-06 season and extended the Phoenix Suns to a seventh game in the second round before being eliminated.

Orlando
The Magic picked up their $2.8 million option on guard J.J. Redick for next season. Redick was the team’s first-round pick in 2006 out of Duke.

Stalker to face charges
A woman has been charged with stalking Los Angeles Lakers forward Luke Walton. Stacy Elizabeth Beshear of El Segundo, Calif., was arrested Sept. 18 after she pulled up to his car and pretended to fire gunshots at him with her hand, police Sgt. Steve Tobias said. Beshear, 34, has pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor count of stalking.
