MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis Grizzlies have swapped guard Greivis Vasquez to the New Orleans Hornets for guard/forward Quincy Pondexter, the former Washington Husky, in a move designed to boost their depth with Darrell Arthur out for the season.
The Grizzlies announced earlier they signed Dante Cunningham after Charlotte failed to match an offer.
The 6-foot-6 Pondexter averaged 13 points and 8.5 rebounds in 33 minutes in two exhibition games against Memphis. The 23-year-old averaged 2.8 points and 1.3 rebounds in 66 games as a rookie with New Orleans last season after being the 26th pick overall by Oklahoma City in 2010.
Thunder cuts Robinson
OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma City Thunder have waived guard Nate Robinson.
General manager Sam Presti made the announcement Saturday.
Robinson, the former Husky, was a midseason acquisition by Boston last season and appeared in four games for the Thunder. He averaged 3.3 points and 1.5 assists in 7.5 minutes per game.
