Mavericks, Dalembert agree to one-year deal

According to the Dallas Morning News, Dalembert reasoned that he had problems sleeping at night, so he tried solve it by sleeping early but he ends up oversleeping.

Dalembert will join Zaza Pachulia, acquired in a deal with Milwaukee, as part of the Mavericks’ center rotation.

Th Mavs also secured the services of summer league sensation Maurice NDour of Senegal for an undisclosed amount.

Now, the Mavs are forming a platoon of centers, now composed of Dalemebert, Pachulia and NDour, that would back up star power forward Dirk Nowitzki. The Mavericks reportedly are willing to bring more than 15 players to camp on guaranteed contracts and pick the best 15 while eating the money of the guys they cut.

Marc Stein of Bet365.com research results where the Mavericks are actually in more advanced discussions to signal Tunisian centre Salah Mejiri and so are not settlement out choosing JaVale McGee always.

New buzzword in Dallas is “optionality”. The Mavs signed him to a two-year deal in the summer of 2013, with owner Mark Cuban calling him “the key” to their season.

Dalembert, 34, will have an opportunity to contribute to a Dallas team that is in desperate need of help in the frontcourt after failing to get prized free agent DeAndre Jordan to sign on the dotted line despite a verbal agreement. In a recent ESPN story, New York president Phil Jackson revealed that Dalembert “had fallen asleep in pregame locker room sessions”.

It’s an essential signing for the Mavericks, who clearly have made the decision that they will try to survive the 2015-16 season with a committee of players manning the paint.

Dalembert holds career averages of 7.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks during his 13 year career. The addition to Dalembert likely is not the last move the Mavericks will make.
