The Dallas Mavericks make the short road trip to take on the San Antonio Spurs tonight as they look for their third straight win after a very shaky start to the season. On the opening night of the season the Mavs were brushed aside by the Heat quite convincingly in the end and since then have suffered losses to the Nuggets, Thunder and Timberwolves.

Associated Press - Vince Carter racked up 21 points in his Orlando debut and Brandon Bass added seven of his 13 points in the final two minutes to lift the Magic to a 110-105 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in the preseason opener for both teams on Monday night.
Carter, who was acquired by the Magic in an offseason trade with the Toronto Raptors, scored 15 points in the third quarter. Bass was a key reserve for the Mavericks the past two seasons before signing a four-year free-agent deal with the Magic during the offseason.
Check out this video of the press conference showcasing the new Mavs uniforms and summer signees including Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion, Drew Gooden, Tim Thomas, Nathan Jawai, and Quinton Ross.

As you’ve probably heard, Shawn Marion is headed to Dallas. What you might not have heard is who is leaving. Say your goodbyes to Devean George and Antoine Wright. They’re headed to Toronto in a complicated deal involving Dallas, Toronto, and Memphis.
So what are the Mavericks losing?
At age 31, Devean George was slated to earn $1.6 million. He’s a 6’8″ small forward providing mostly defense. Devean contributed 3.4 points and 1.8 rebounds per game, in which he averaged 16.5 minutes per game.
Happy first day of NBA free agent signings! There have been lots of rumors circulating and a few actions taken. Let’s take a quick look at what we know and what we speculate the Mavs will do before summer’s end.
For certain:
Mavs sign Jason Kidd to a three year deal.
Mavs offer Marcin Gortat the mid-level exception.
Mavs sign Rodrique Beaubois to a two year deal.
