Thursday's NBA trade deadline was absolutely nuts. It seemed nearly every franchise made at least one move on the final day to do so this season. Lost in the shuffle, in what was one of the more mundane moves of the day, was the shipping of one former Oregon player.

No, we're not talking about Tyler Dorsey (who is now reunited with Dillon Brooks in Memphis), the player in question is Maarty Leunen.

Leunen has not played at Oregon in over a decade. His senior season came in 2008, and he was drafted 54th overall by Houston in the subsequent draft. But, for the fourth time in his professional career, one that has featured exactly zero minutes played in the NBA, Leunen's draft rights were traded.

The Indiana Pacers acquired guards Nick Stauskas, Wade Baldwin and Leunen from the Houston Rockets in a two-team trade to free up cap space. Leunen, now 33, is currently playing in Italy for Fortitudo Bologna. The odds seem extremely slim that he ever plays in the league, a fact both teams in question are likely aware of.

And again, this is not the first time Leunen has been utilized as a bargaining chip in an NBA trade. Since 2016, Leunen has been shipped four times. In January of 2016, Leunen's draft rights were traded to the Clippers. The Clippers then moved him to Dallas in late July of 2018. A week later he was traded from Los Angeles back to Houston in exchange for Chinanu Onuaku and a second round pick.

The Redmond native is among the most prolific rebounders in program history. He ranks second all-time with 903 career boards. Greg Ballard tops the list. Leunen, who helped lead the Ducks to an Elite Eight appearance in 2006-07, is also part of the 1,000 point club. He concluded his career with 1,259 points. His best season was his last, when he averaged 15.2 points per game and 9.2 rebounds while shooting 49.2-percent from three. The 3-point shooting clip that season is the third best percentage in a season at Oregon.
