The Indiana Pacers have reached an agreement to acquire forward Chase Budinger in a trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
As part of the deal, Indiana will send forward Damjan Rudez to Minnesota, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Budinger gives the Pacers an additional shooting threat to spread the floor and a versatile small forward who lost playing time with the glut of highly talented young wing players in Minnesota.
Budinger, 27, averaged 6.8 points in 19 minutes a game for the T'wolves last season. In six NBA seasons, including three years in Houston and Minnesota, Budinger has averaged 8.6 points and nearly 36 percent shooting from 3-point range.
Rudez, 29, is from Croatia and came to the NBA a year ago after several professional seasons in Europe. He's shown a penchant for providing value at the stretch-4 position, shooting 40 percent on 3-pointers for the Pacers last season.
