The Wizards are among the teams casting an eye toward Luke Ridnour, tweets Sam Amick of USA Today. Gery Woelfel of The Journal Times suggested the possibility earlier this week. Ken Berger of CBSSports.com reported last week that the Bucks and Wizards had talks about the veteran point guard.
Ridnour seems a likely trade candidate for the Bucks. The 33-year-old has been in and out of the starting lineup this season and is averaging 5.7 points and 3.4 assists per game, both near career lows.
Washington is on the lookout for a backup point guard for John Wall, having grown disappointed with offseason signee Eric Maynor. Ridnour is making $4.42MM in the final season of his deal.
