Mavs sign veteran forward David Lee, waive John Jenkins

The 10-year veteran appeared in 30 games, where he averaged 7.1 points and 4.3 rebounds in 15.7 minutes. The Sixers have lost their last seven games against Dallas. Eventually, the team couldn’t find a willing trade partner which was the reason why Lee was still a Celtic even after the trade deadline.

Speaking after Dallas’ comfortable win over Philadelphia on Sunday, Carlisle talked up the capture of the two-time All-Star and reigning National Basketball Association champion. “We believe he can help us”.

Nowitzki went over 29,000 career points with a 3-pointer with 10:21 left in the third quarter. He spent the first five years of his career as a Knick before signing as a free agent with the Golden State Warriors prior to the 2010-11 season.

David Lee played for the Golden State Warriors before this season’s stint with the Boston Celtics.

Lee was released by the Boston Celtics on Friday afternoon, making him eligible to sign with any team but Boston after clearing waivers.

“He’s a smart player – obviously he’s a veteran who knows how to play, ” Nowitzki said. “He’s just another experienced and vet guy that we can add to our roster to make this push at the end here”. It will be interesting to see how the addition of Lee affects his role in the rotation.

Lee will bring some much needed depth to the Mavericks bench, and will complement the likes of Dirk Nowitzki and JaVale McGee as Dallas prepare for another playoff push. “He’s a great rebounder and inside presence”. “In pick-and-rolls, he understands when to pop and when to roll”.

“We were playing with a swagger and a confidence that we haven’t done often enough at home”, Matthews said. I just remember when he [Lee] was a rookie in a preseason game and he and Dirk [Nowitzki] got into it in a big way.

The Mavericks have a lot of guards who deserve to play.

There’s no injuries to report at this time. Oklahoma City leads the season series 3-0.
