The LA Clippers are looking to get in on the trade talk in the NBA and reports have the team motivated to move Jared Dudley after acquiring him from the Phoenix Suns and teams like the Atlanta Hawks, NY Knicks, Indiana Pacers or Brooklyn Nets could be in the running for his services.
According to ESPN.com writer Marc Stein, the Clippers are looking to move Dudley at the deadline and it comes after the team signed Hedo Turkoglu and now Doc Rivers is hoping to add some more depth for Dudley. The Atlanta Hawks, Phoenix Suns, Indiana Pacers or Brooklyn Nets all could be options and comes as Dudley is averaging just eight points this season and is shooting over 40 percent from the floor and now he could be on the move.
Dudley was acquired from the Phoenix Suns in the offseason and he has not been much of a contributor, playing in over 30 minutes only twice since J.J. Redick came back from his injury and he has not been much of a factor for the team. Dudley could be a nice option for the teams mentioned as they try to add depth and the Clippers would like to use Turkoglu more over Dudley.
Dudley is making $4.25 million over the next two years and that is not a tough amount to deal with and the team comes in at 34-17 this season and they play the Miami Heat on Wednesday.
