Eric Maynor will not be available for Friday's game against the Lakers. He was viewed as one of the better backup point guards in the league before tearing his ACL in January 2012, but he was never really able to get it going since the major injury. Maynor has a career 2.9 assist-to-turnover ratio and shoots 35 percent from 3-point land, so he could be an interesting backup and may be paired with Damian Lillard in a two-point backcourt. Obviously, Lillard leads all point guards in minutes with 38.5 per game and Maynor has absolutely no impact on this year's heavy favorite for Rookie of the Year.

Blazers acquired PG Eric Maynor from the Thunder via trade. Maynor was the No. 3 point guard in Oklahoma City behind Russell Westbrook and Reggie Jackson. In Portland, he'll slide in as Damian Lillard's direct backup. But considering Lillard averages 38.5 minutes a night, there won't be a ton of opportunity. The Blazers gave up a draft pick in the deal.

The Thunder are seeking a first-round pick for Eric Maynor, according to Sam Amick of USA Today. Good luck with that. Maynor has fallen to third on the point guard depth chart and hasn't played in any of the last three games. He'll be hitting free agency at the end of the season, so the Thunder may not find a taker at their asking price.

The Thunder have received "numerous inquiries" about Eric Maynor, according to Yahoo!'s Marc Spears. The same report suggests that OKC "is inclined to keep Maynor but is open-minded." Maynor has fallen behind Reggie Jackson in the rotation, which gives this rumor some extra plausibility, but it would take an ideal situation for Maynor to make any noise in fantasy leagues.

Eric Maynor is not interested in taking a D-League assignment after losing the backup PG spot to Reggie Jackson. "No," said Maynor, who repeated his answer twice more. Maynor's future with OKC is very much in doubt with his free agency looming at season's end, and he could be on the move before the trade deadline if the Thunder can find the right deal.

The Sixers "explored a trade" for Eric Maynor, a source tells the Philadelphia Inquirer. However, the talks didn't get very far and it doesn't sound as if there is a deal to be done at this juncture. The two sides could revisit talks down the road, but for now, it appears Maynor will stay put. He's a candidate to be dealt as he's in the final season of his contract and it would be a surprise to see OKC re-sign him.

Scott Brooks is not contemplating a change at backup point guard. Eric Maynor is averaging 4.1 points and 1.9 assists on 31.7 percent shooting, but third-string PG Reggie Jackson is averaging just a point on 33.3 percent shooting. "I haven't thought about it," Brooks said in regards to making a change. As long as Russell Westbrook is healthy, it doesn't matter who the backup is for fantasy owners.

Eric Maynor hit 5-of-6 shots and three 3-pointers for 13 points on Friday. Maynor added three assists to his statline, and will only have real value if Russell Westbrook or Kevin Martin suffers an injury.

Eric Maynor has won the backup PG spot over Reggie Jackson. The two players were competing to be Russell Westbrook's primary backup throughout the preseason, but Maynor was always expected to win the gig. He's fully healthy coming off of knee surgery and should be a stabilizing force in OKC's second unit.

The Thunder and Eric Maynor have agreed to end negotiations on a contract extension, which means Maynor will become a restricted free agent this summer. Maynor is coming off major ACL surgery, so the Thunder have little incentive to hand him a big contract before the season even begins. They have some financial flexibility now that James Harden is gone, and they'll have the opportunity to match any offers Maynor gets next summer.
