Mavs Re-Sign Devean George
George, a nine-year veteran, played his first seven seasons for the Los Angeles Lakers before the Mavericks originally signed him on August 2, 2006. In 53 games last season with four starts, George averaged 3.7 points and 2.6 rebounds in 15.5 minutes per game. "Getting Devean back in a Mavs' uniform has been a goal of ours all summer,” said Head Coach Rick Carlisle. “His experience and ability to run the floor and play and defend multiple positions will be a great asset for us this season.” RealGM Note: George was ranked 302nd in season FIC and 'deserved' to make just $1.38 million. He had a per 40 FIC of just 6.5, which is well below the league median of 10.0. ESPN's Marc Stein reported last week that the deal would be worth $4 million over two years.

"I'm undefeated," said Kidd. "I told them I can retire now from international ball, but LeBron [James] threw out something I didn't like. He said he won't play in 2012 unless I'm there." "J-Kidd is going to become a player-coach now," said James. But Kidd has already turned his attention to the Mavericks. "Coach Carlisle's already texted me, telling me training camp starts in a month," Kidd said, adding that he talked to Dirk Nowitzki about the same subject. "I'm excited. I can't wait." "I was telling Casey [Smith, the Mavs trainer who was with Team USA in Beijing], 'We were only five games out of being in the No. 1 (seed)," Kidd said of last season, when the Mavericks got bounced from the first round of the playoffs. "Now I'll become selfish and shoot all of those shots that I didn't shoot here," he said. "Carlisle and I talked about it before I left. I've been working on shooting a lot of shots. We'll see what happens." Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Kidd Giving Gold Medal To Wynn's Wife
"It's not a (gambling) marker or anything like that," Kidd told The Arizona Republic. "She's just a great friend and a really great person." They met last year when Kidd and the USA team stayed at the Wynn while training in Las Vegas. "Last summer, we stayed at the Wynn for (what seemed like) a lifetime, close to three weeks," Kidd said. "We met at a banquet, we got to talking, and she really understands the game." "I told her I'd make a deal with her, that if we won the gold medal, I'd give it to her. She thought I was kidding. But I told her I had one already, and the way they treated us at the Wynn, it was the least I could do." Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Mavericks Aug 2008 Archive
