In exchange for swingman Carlos Delfino and center Miroslav Raduljica, the LA Clippers have sent Jared Dudley to the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Clips are also said to be tossing in a future first-round pick to make the deal work. Per Yahoo!:
Dudley, who averaged 6.9 points in 23.4 minutes per game last season, had fallen out of the Clippers’ plans and is owed $4.25 million each of the next two seasons, but has a player option for 2015-16. Dudley, 31, was a double-digit scorer from 2010-13 with the Phoenix Suns.
Delfino, 31, is owed $6.5 million for the next two seasons — with a team option for 2015-16 — but missed the 2013-14 season because of a right foot injury. He is expected to miss part of the 2014-15 season as he recovers from the injury, a league source said.
I just wanna thank the clippers organization for everything.. It was a privilege to play for them.. I only wish I could of been 100%.. I wish them nothing but luckhttp://t.co/htSNdaOkMG

I only…
Classic J Dud!
Ha!
Never mind!!
That name is Raduljicaus!
Yeah.. no
Dumb move by the Clips tossing in a 1st round pick, sure it will be late first round, but it will be more valuable if they get a decent player on a rookie deal.
Delfino has been off my radar for years now. Has he declined significantly in the last 3 years?
Nope, (he had last season off with injury) he was actually hitting three’s at a career rate last we saw him.
Thanks. Good pickup for Clips actually.
If Jason Kidd gets the best out of him, does that mean Doc is overrated?
naaah, it is Ridiculous….lol

… in which way would he make more sense than shumpert again? im kinda confused…
No it’s not, he’s a horrible defender, and all he does is shoot 3’s..
But then again, at this point he is better than Dudley.

Guys like that are important too.
You could say the same, but opposite for DeAndre Jordan. He doesn’t play offense, and all he does is get blocks. It’s not often you get a Kawai Leonard or Danny Green like fella sitting at bench seat #11. Delfino has an elite skill and that is shooting three’s. With that said, the Clipp’s neither made a step forward nor backward by signing him.
But he Jordan contributes to the offense(10ppg 67% fg), and he’s such a huge factor on defense that makes up for a lot of his offensive short comings. I see your point about Delfino, at his best he’s a 42%fg 37% 3pt 85%ft 11ppg 5rpg 3apg 1.6spg guy so if he could give them that, and up his fg% his a good pickup….I’m still sticking to him playing suspect defense, it’s not like Harden’s, but it’s bad.
Agree on this deal. C.Delfino is one of the best player in NBA rather than J.Dudley. (In my opinion.) And M.Raduljica is prospect and i think this man will improve. Its good for Clippers but i don’t know if good for the new players. Rotation and MPG will be the problem.
Doc’s entire career means that Doc is overrated.
