The Dallas Mavericks have waived former Portland Trail Blazers guard Dalano Banton. NBA insider Marc Stein reports that the Texas Legends, the Mavericks' G League affiliate, holds the G League rights on Banton. He notes that Dallas also waived Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Dennis Smith Jr., and is in discussions to acquire Smith's G League rights from the Wisconsin Herd, G League affiliate of the Milwaukee Bucks.
In general, it's somewhat surprising that Banton wasn't able to make a 15-man NBA roster this season. He's arguably NBA-level talent, averaging 8.3 points, 2.4 assists, and 2.0 rebounds on 39/32/73 shooting splits last season in Portland.
