Bucks Aquire Two Second-Round Draft Picks

The Milwaukee Bucks have acquired two future second-round draft picks as part of a three-team deal involving the Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns, General Manager John Hammond announced today. As part of the trade, the Bucks re-signed free-agent guard J.J. Redick and dealt him to the Clippers, with Los Angeles sending Eric Bledsoe and Caron Butler to Phoenix in exchange for Jared Dudley. Both the Clippers (2015 or 2016 with protections; 2017 unprotected) and Suns (2014 from Toronto) will send a future second-round pick to the Bucks to complete the deal.

Redick, 29, was acquired by Milwaukee in February as part of a six-player trade with Orlando. In 28 games in a Bucks uniform, Redick averaged 12.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists per contest while shooting 40.3 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from beyond the arc. The seven-year veteran owns career averages of 9.4 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 424 games with the Magic and Bucks.
