As part of the Budinger deal, Indiana will send forward Damjan Rudez to Minnesota, league sources said. Deal should be finalized today.

He played in 68 games last year for the Pacers. I had never heard of him...

Rudez, is a good shooter, and plays PF assuming another trade coming

[TheGrey08]

Solid 3 point shooter from his stat line, but not too much else. Only making 1.125 mill per. Hmm

[60WinTim]

He makes about 1.15 mil this year with a team option next year. We know Bud wanted a trade. It's a salary savings thus far, and I imagine he could be waived/traded again if we wanted the roster spot.

@DWolfsonKSTP: Talked to G. Taylor. On Rudez: "Not a position we need. Not a person we were looking for." Pacers targeted Chase. Called #Twolves this week.

Rudez can stroke the 3 and looks allergic to rebounds. Good for Bud he has a team that wanted him. This opens up a roster spot so that's good.

What is Glen saying there? I'm a little slow today (had a long night) but it soounds like Rudez will be waived?

Either way fantastic news, especially for Hummel or LoBrow

They must be waiving him, Volans. I think this might be good news for Hummel and LoBrow. We know how much they like Robbie, and Lorenzo seemed much improved in his first game. If he keeps it up, I think there's a good chance they keep both of them.
