In order to clear a roster spot for Peja Stojakovic the Dallas Mavericks have traded Alexi Ajinca to the Toronto Raptors.
↵↵↵Dallas will receive the rights to 2007 second-round pick Georgios Printezis (who plays in Spain and is no longer considered an NBA prospect) and create a salary-cap exception equal to Ajinca's $1.5 million salary.

The Mavericks appear to be keen on keeping Brian Cardinal and Sasha Pavlovic around a little longer and prefered either one of them over Ajinca.
↵Deservedly so.
