Clippers get Dudley & Redick

For Bledsoe & Butler. Pretty much a wash IMO.

I really like Dudley as a glue role player on a contender. Him & Reddick will give 100% and accept any role to win.

Suns are stockpiling some decent assets. Nothing to write home about though.

I think it was a good trade for Phoenix.

J.J. only shot 32% from the three point line last year...

I really like this deal for the Clips and the Suns. The Bucks have no direction whatsoever, other than do whatever it takes to get 40 wins and an 8-seed.

Dudley and Redick are both underrated defenders (not elite by any means, but solid), and they're obviously really good spot-up shooters (Redick has a little game off the dribble as well, but he won't be doing much of that in LAC). Those guys would be great fits on any team. I wouldn't worry about Redick's percentages from last year. Both Orlando and Milwaukee were dumpster fires (in different ways). He'll bounce back in a good offense with a great PG.

Bledsoe is a nice young piece for a rebuilding team. The Suns are so far away from being decent that a solid veteran role player like Dudley has a lot more value elsewhere.
