The Milwaukee Bucks aren’t looking to win the NBA Finals next year — or probably the next few years after that — but they are looking to improve to the point where they’re back in the postseason and back to contending in the Eastern Conference.

Let’s no kid ourselves, the East is crazy easy to win in and the Bucks really only need one or two decent veterans and a young core to win. That’s what they seem to be striving for after today’s trade as the Bucks have acquired Jared Dudley from the Los Angeles Clippers.
Adrian Wojnarowski from Yahoo! Sports has the details on the trade, which in total involves three players.

The trade is by no means a blockbuster but it helps give the Bucks a veteran scorer who can help their young core learn the ropes a little quicker. As for the Clippers, Delfino is out for the season and Radiluca isn’t that big of a power player, but Dudley’s contract is off the books and that’s really what this trade was all about.
