The deal involved a barter to the draft rights of Maarty Leunen for Johnathan Motley and Renaldas Seibutis. Likely to represent a trade which fails to carry major implications, it was overlooked by the average NBA fan.
While Seibutis and Leunen are fairly unknown prospects in their mid thirties, the youngster from Texas managed to catch the eye of the Mavericks’ faithful in the prior season. In limited minutes, his ability to generate high energy plays made him a invaluable asset coming off the bench.
However, since the inclusion of DeAndre Jordan loaded them in the big man department, they were prepared to permit the departure of Motley.
