DeAndre Liggins: Traded to Rockets

The Mavs opted against picking up Liggins’ option for next season, but he’s
still able to be traded before the free agency singing period, which begins
Saturday morning. A defensive-minded guard, Liggins has bounced around between
Orlando, Oklahoma City, Miami, Cleveland and Dallas since entering the league in
2011, but he’s yet to find a permanent home, due in part to his struggles on the
offensive end. While the Rockets likely won’t commit to Liggins long-term,
management apparently views him as a valuable enough piece to warrant a trade
and prevent him from receiving other offers as a free agent.
