Even with new ownership the Bucks are great at finding veterans who will strive for that ninth seed.

nice to see dudley playing well again. the clips really coulda used him but he wasn't right all year with them.
rundown of the duds trade fallout in todays lowe column about how the clippers are good
Spencer Hawes might represent the Clippers’ only hope for such an injection of crazy, in part because of the way the Clips signed him. They lavished the full midlevel exception upon him, triggering a rule that caps the Clippers’ payroll at $4 million above the luxury tax. The Clips were only about $1 million below that after beating out Portland for Hawes, and they had just 12 players under contract.
They needed flexibility in case they encountered injuries or a chance at a good trade. How Doc Rivers achieved that flexibility was nothing short of a disaster. Rivers flipped Jared Dudley and a first-round pick to the Bucks for two players he could waive immediately with little penalty. That freed up money to sign Hedo Turkoglu, Chris Douglas-Roberts, and Ekpe Udoh to minimum contracts.
Udoh doesn’t play, Turkoglu probably shouldn’t, and Rivers traded Douglas-Roberts in the three-team deal that netted his son. The Clippers lost Reggie Bullock, a potential end-of-the-rotation wing, in the same deal, and they flat waived Jordan Farmar after using the precious biannual exception to sign him.
The Clippers in essence paid a first-round pick to dump Dudley, and then cycled through a half-dozen players who have contributed next to nothing — all while Dudley thrives as a hybrid forward in Milwaukee. They could have simply kept Dudley and signed a 13th player to the minimum salary. That might not have been realistic, since the Clips would have had zero flexibility in case of an injury wave, but it’s a better alternate universe than their reality. The Clippers do have enough room now to chase someone on the buyout market, and if things break right, they could find some valuable depth there over the next six weeks.

to get to the truly disastrous mistake tho you have to go one step further back to when the clips traded bledsoe cause they thought he cldnt play w cp3

That Lowe bit tracing the Dudley-related moves by doc is just...oof
Like didn't pop run the gm stuff for the Spurs for a while and then realize he needed someone to do it even if he still had a strong hand in it? Might be time for doc to think about that
Also he traded for his son

pistons looking pretty good against miami right now. monroe has been tossing around some pretty dimes tonight, highlight of which was this one armed hook pass that arced vaguely out of bounds but delivered to singler who used his vampire strength to put up a 3
