With Redick’s new $6 million/year salary and Dudley’s $4.25 million/year on the books, the Clippers are in essentially the same cap situation as before the trade (Butler/Bledsoe were scheduled to make ~$10.5 million next season). This means the Clippers are still at ~$65 million in total payroll and can use the full Mid-Level Exception, should they choose to.
More reactions/analysis to come.
