Welcome to the Dallas Mavericks Blog. This is the site that will bring you everything you need to know about the Mavs.
We'll have the latest news, stats, scores, injury reports, trade rumors, and anything else related to the Mavs. We'll also tell you who is playing well and who it not, while giving intake on what the Mavs need to do to stay successful.
The Dallas Mavericks selected 22-year old power forward Ahmad Nivins with the #56 pick in the NBA Draft. Nivins played in 126 games in his 4 seasons at St. Joseph’s in which he averaged 14.2 points, 7.6 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. Nivins should be able to give the Mavericks solid minutes off the bench in 2009-2010 and maybe much more down the road.
The Mavericks acquired Nick Calathes from the Timberwolves on Draft Night. Calathes played in 72 games in two seasons at Florida and he averaged 16.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game. He could back up and learn from Jason Kidd if the Mavericks bring him back. This was a solid move for the Mavericks.
