Dudley came to the Clippers from the Phoenix Suns just this past offseason as part of the J.J. Redick sign-and-trade, and along with Redick, he was expected to help provide floor spacing for Chris Paul. However, Dudley has been inconsistent all season, averaging 7.9 points while shooting 44.9 percent overall and 36.3 percent from three. All three of those figures are below his career marks.
Shortly after Redick returned from injury, Dudley lost his starting job to Matt Barnes. And with the signing of Hedo Turkoglu, Dudley has seen his minutes dwindle even more. Dudley has played 30 minutes just twice since Redick returned on Jan. 10, and he has failed to reach 20 minutes in each of the last seven games.
Stein reports the Clippers are “itchy” to make a move, and with Dudley falling deeper into the rotation, it’s only natural his name has come up in trade rumors.
