Mavs Acquire James Johnson From Thunder With Delon Wright To Pistons; Thunder Get Trevor Ariza
The Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to trade James Johnson to the Dallas Mavericks with Delon Wright being sent to the Detroit Pistons. The Thunder will acquire Trevor Ariza and draft pick compensation.
Johnson was acquired from the Minnesota Timberwolves as part of the Ricky Rubio trade. Johnson is on an expiring contract worth approximately $16 million. The deal will create additional cap space for the Mavericks in 2021.
The Mavericks signed Wright to a three-year, $29 million contract last offseason.
