When former Mavericks forward Brandon Bass had finished chatting up the kids
attending his summer youth camp at a Boys & Girls Club on Tuesday, the
question went out.
"Do you want Brandon to come back next year?"
Dozens of hands shot into the air.
But the NBA-side of that question was already moot.
Last week, Bass turned his free agency and two successful seasons with the
Mavs into a four-year deal with the Orlando Magic, beginning at $4 million
next season.
Dallas stepped out of the way, back when it still had hopes of getting
restricted free agent Marcin Gortat from Orlando. That fell through yesterday
when the Magic matched Dallas' offer.
"They're in a tough spot," Bass said. "When you offer somebody a mid-level
exception and you don't get him, that's a pretty big loss."
Bass said his agent, Tony Dutt, had talked with the Mavs about re-signing
Bass in the event Gortat's five-year, $34-million dollar deal didn't happen.
Brandon Bass averaged 8.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 19.4 minutes last season
with the Mavericks.
Orlando's Brandon Bass averaged 8.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 19.4 minutes
last season with the Mavericks.
"They continued to do what they wanted to do," Bass said. "That's why I think
I'm in the best position possible. I'm going to the team that wanted me most
in free agency."
But Bass – who predicted that Mavs owner Mark Cuban had a back-up plan –
said he'll miss Dallas. He came here averaging 2.0 points a game in his
second season with the Hornets and leaves after averaging 8.5 points and 4.5
rebounds in 19.4 minutes last season.
"Playing with the Mavs rejuvenated my career," Bass said. "They gave me an
opportunity to grow as a player. I'll miss Dallas, but I have to start
something new with the Magic."
Briefly: Cuban said on NBA TV on Monday that Dallas has talked with Lamar
Odom's agent.
