Shortly after the Sonics shipped the Cavs Wally Szczerbiak and Delonte West for Donyell Marshall (and Adrian Griffin from the Bulls), they released Ira Newble. Then again this summer, they traded Adrian Griffin to the Bucks. As of today, they’ve finally rid themselves of the last remnants of that trade that cleared major payroll for their team. The AP reports:
Forward Donyell Marshall won’t be making the move to Oklahoma City with the Seattle SuperSonics.
The 14-year NBA veteran was waived Wednesday by the Oklahoma City franchise, which still hasn’t been renamed after its relocation last month.
Marshall was acquired by the franchise from Cleveland in a three-team trade in February that sent Wally Szczerbiakand Ben Wallace to the Cavaliers.
He averaged 3.8 points off the bench in 15 games with Seattle and was sidelined by a sore right knee late last season.
Adrian Griffin, who was the other player sent to Seattle in that trade, was shipped to Milwaukee last week as part of a deal that brought forwards Desmond Mason and Joe Smith to Oklahoma City.
