Mavericks trade former Baylor star to Clippers and sign China’s Ding Yanyuhang

The Mavericks have added forward Maarty Leunen and cash considerations from the Clippers in exchange for two-way forward and Baylor ex Johnathan Motley and the rights to guard Renaldas Seibutis.

The Mavs also signed guard-forward Ding Yanyuhang (pronounced yin-you-hong), who spent the last seven seasons playing in China. The 6-foot-7 wing averaged 26 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 45 games in the China Basketball Association this past season. He played on the Mavs’ Orlando and Las Vegas summer league teams in 2017.

Leunen (6-9, 220) spent the past 10 seasons playing in Turkey, Italy and Germany.
