The Dallas Mavericks really don’t seem happy with the roster that got them to the NBA Finals so their making some moves. They already traded away Marquis Daniels to the Pacers for Austin Croshere. Now the Mavs made another deal with Pacers when they traded Darrell Armstrong, Josh Powell and Rawle Marshall for point guard Anthony Johnson. I don’t expect all three to make the Pacers roster though so expect some player waiving in the near future. This move brings in a younger point guard than Armstrong to back up Jason Terry and Devin Harris and it also got rid of two roster spots for other players to come in.
The Mavericks are also close to signing free agent Devean George who was an important piece in the LA Lakers’ championship team with Shaq and Kobe. His experience will more depth to swingman positions and his winning experience will help them get back to the Finals and maybe even win the championship that eluded them this past season.
