Mavericks send second-round pick in 2010 to Pacers

Published June 2, 2010 at 6:25 p.m.

The Mavericks have elected to convey their second-round draft choice, the 57th overall, to the Indiana Pacers.

The Mavericks had the option of sending either this year's or next year's second-round pick to the Pacers to satisfy the terms of the Shawne Williams trade.

That deal was for Eddie Jones and a pair of second rounders.

President Donnie Nelson confirmed that the Mavericks had decided to send this year's pick since only three teams will choose below the Mavericks this year.

*The Mavericks now are left with only the 50th pick in the June 24 draft.
