Texas Triangle: 9 players who played for the Mavericks, Rockets, and Spurs

6) Boban Marjanovic
7'4 center Boban Marjanovic has been one of the more efficient players in the NBA over his career. Despite that, Boban hasn't been a regular rotation player due to some of his limitations. He broke into the NBA with the Spurs in 2015-16, serving as the third-string big man on a stacked team that featured Tim Duncan, LaMarcus Aldridge, David West, and Boris Diaw.
While he only played 9.4 minutes per game in 54 games, he still put up 5.5 points, and 3.6 rebounds, or 21 points and 13.7 rebounds per 36 minutes. That earned him a 3-year contract with the Detroit Pistons, but he bounced around, playing for the L.A. Clippers, the Philadelphia 76ers, and then the Mavericks.
Over three years, and 100 games, Boban played sparingly, logging just 821 minutes total. Nevertheless, the sheer spectacle of watching a behemoth play ball made him a fan favorite wherever he played. Boban later signed with the Rockets and although he played just 45 games over the last two seasons, he could re-sign with the Rockets in 2024–25. Even if he doesn't he has already played 199 games with the Spurs, Mavs, and Rockets thus far.
