I'm not going to lie: this one hurts.
Some trades are hard because of the player being lost, but every once in a while they're difficult to stomach for the person being lost.
The latter was the case on Thursday, as the Bucks followed up their monumental signing of Greg Monroe by shipping veteran glue-guy/shooter/entertainer Jared Dudley to the Washington Wizards for a future second round pick. While the Bucks were expected to make additional moves to clear up logjams at center and in the backcourt, no one really saw a Dudley trade coming, especially given that he's just a few days removed from opting into the modestly-priced final year of a contract that will pay him $4.
