The probability of swingman Devean George returning to the Dallas Mavericks next season appears to be decreasing every day. George, a free agent, has at least a half dozen other teams interested in signing him. The Mavericks, however, only have two open roster spots left with little money to work with after signing center DeSagana Diop.
The Mavericks have the option of re-signing George for more than a minimum contract, however, because he was on their roster last season for about $2.3 million, but Mavs president Donnie Nelson isn't optimistic that they will get a deal done.
"I wouldn't hold out a lot of hope right now," Nelson said. "We're pretty far apart as far as the numbers go."
George, a 6-8 guard/forward, averaged 3.7 points and 2.6 rebounds in 53 games last season. George, who will turn 31 years old in late August, has averaged 5.8 points and 3.3 rebounds over nine NBA seasons (the first seven with the Los Angeles Lakers). The Phoenix Suns, San Antonio Spurs, Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers and New Orleans Hornets have expressed interest in George. And the NBA champion Boston Celtics could be next in line after they lost 6-8 forward James Posey in free agency.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? Should we bring back the former Laker? |

| Why is it that people are such nostalgics. George was a project when he was with the Lakers. He never did have other than a rather marginal utility. So, NO! |

| I always liked George. He always hit key shots. I don't know if you all remember, but his defense was stellar. We put him on the top offensive plyer of the other team. Defense and clutch shots, that's what it's all about. Come on guys. Damn. |

When your out for a whole season and part of a second you lose your touch and some times for good. In his case, he lost it for good. His shot had a hitch in it and he just wasn't the same.
I was going to say more but I got kind of distracted... Sorry if the post doesn't make much sense. |

Yeah you guys are right.
There's something about former Lakers free-agents that makes me want to get them back!

| I'll say no to George. He has already shown that he can be a pain if you wanted to get rid of him lol!! He'll just take up space on the bench. |
