The summer league is officially under way and after a couple of sub-par game one performances from Rodrigue Beaubois and Omar Samhan, the Mavericks bounced back nicely last night. Bryan Guiterrez over at mavsmoneyball has a nice recap of last night's game.
↵Samhan describes what he can bring to the Mavericks
↵↵↵"I think I bring a lot skill-wise," he said. "Of course, I’m not very athletic. I’m a slow, white guy."
↵
At least he’s honest.
↵Marc Stein has an update on the Mavs' pursuit of Al Jefferson
↵↵↵Mavs’ Jefferson talks have been more frequent but Wolves want draft picks WITH Dampier’s cap-friendly contract. Mavs offering neither
↵
It’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out; the Cavs are reportedly in the mix for Jefferson as well.
↵As Brett Perryman pointed out, Mark Cuban has emerged as a bidder for the Texas Rangers.
↵No word on how or if this will effect the Mavericks in any way.
↵And finally, now that the "Super Friends" are in Miami, will the Mavericks/Heat game be played at the new Cowboys Stadium? Probably not.
