Eric Maynor headed to Portland

The Portland Trail Blazers are strong contenders to make the NBA playoffs. With that in mind, they wanted to secure a solid backup for stellar rookie Damian Lillard (187 cm, Weber State’12). They found a trade partner in the Oklahoma City Thunder, who surprisingly agreed to deal Eric Maynor (188 cm, VCU’09). The Thunder will receive a $2.2 million trade exception and the rights to Greek player Georgios Printezis (206 cm), who currently is still under contract with Olympiacos S.F.P. Pireus from Greece’s A1 League.

Maynor has seen very little usage in the Thunder’s recent rotation. He has been averaging 2.8 ppg and 2.0 apg in 37 games this 2012-13 season.
