J.J. Redick and Jared Dudley are heading to Los Angeles as new members of the Clippers.

The Lakers, meanwhile, are hoping Dwight Howard stays put.

A person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Tuesday that a three-team trade is in place that sends Redick to Los Angeles from the Milwaukee Bucks and Eric Bledsoe from the Clippers to the Phoenix Suns.

The trade on a busy second day of NBA free agency will also send Dudley from the Suns to the Clippers and Caron Butler from the Clippers to the Suns. The Bucks will get two second-round draft picks, according to the person who requested anonymity because deals can’t officially be made public until July 10 under NBA rules.

Yahoo! Sports, which first reported the trade, said Redick gets a four-year, $27 million sign-and-trade contract as part of the exchange.

Also in Los Angeles, Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and other representatives of the team met for about two hours with Howard to make their pitch for keeping him in town.

“At the meeting, we told him how important he is to the Lakers team, franchise, fans and community, and why we feel this is the best place for him to continue his career,” Kupchak said in a statement released by the team. “We are hopeful that Dwight decides to remain a Laker.”

Howard became one of the NBA’s most coveted free agents when free agency opened Monday. The Lakers have made no secret they want to keep him, but the Houston Rockets, the Dallas Mavericks and the Atlanta Hawks also are interested.

Free agent power forward David West has agreed to a deal that will keep him in Indiana for at least three more seasons.

A person with knowledge of the negotiations confirmed the deal. It could be the biggest move of the offseason for the Pacers, who made re-signing West their top priority.

The Timberwolves agreed to a four-year, $30 million deal with shooting guard Kevin Martin and a three-year, $16 million with Budinger, according to two people with knowledge of the deals. Budinger’s deal includes a player option for the final season. The people requested anonymity because an official announcement has not been made.

Martell Webster agreed to a four-year deal to stay with the Washington Wizards, and veteran center Nazr Mohammed said he’s remaining with the Chicago Bulls.

The Dallas Mavericks are set to add Israeli point guard Gal Mekel, with his agent, Sam Porter, saying the 6-foot-3 Mekel has agreed to join the Mavericks on a three-year deal with $2.3 million guaranteed.
