McDermott shipped to Mavericks in three-way deal
The Dallas Mavericks acquired forward Doug McDermott from the New York Knicks as part of a three-way trade that also involved the Denver Nuggets prior to Thursday's trading deadline.
Denver sent point guard Emmanuel Mudiay to the Knicks, and Dallas shipped point guard Devin Harris to the Nuggets. The Mavs will get a second-round pick from Denver (via Portland), and the Nuggets get a 2018 second-round pick from the Knicks (via the Clippers).
McDermott averaged 7.2 points in 55 games for the Knicks. The 2014 first-round pick by the Chicago Bulls will be joining his fourth team in four NBA seasons. He also played with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Mudiay, the seventh overall pick in 2015, was averaging 8.5 points and 2.9 assists in 42 games this season. He started 107 games over his first two NBA campaigns but didn't start any this season.
The 34-year-old Harris is averaging 8.5 points in 44 games this season. He is in his 14th NBA season and has played for the Nets, Jazz and Hawks as well as just completing his second stint with the Mavericks.
