Wizards get: SF Jared Dudley
Bucks get: Protected second-round pick (from Washington)
Dudley is a very solid role player who averaged 7.2 points per game last year while on a reasonable $4.25 million expiring deal. He’s also an excellent defender and a great three-point sniper, a skillset that is valued very highly in the NBA today. So on the outskirts, one would assume that the Bucks got robbed, as they got essentially nothing in exchange for the 30-year-old. But you would be partially wrong: Milwaukee was absolutely loaded on the wing this summer, and that was before the team drafted rookie SG Rashad Vaughn and signed SF Chris Copeland. Though perhaps it would have made more sense to simply keep Dudley and use the draft pick and money on other positions, I’m only grading one trade here. And that one trade made sense in order to avoid a complete logjam on the wing.
Grade: B+
