The Dallas Mavericks would like to have James Singleton on their roster this
season.
But the harsh reality is that a numbers crunch at Singleton's positions means
that if the 6-8 forward returns, it will be to a situation that he knows will
yield few opportunities for extensive playing time.
The Mavericks gave a qualifying offer to Singleton after last season. If he
signs it, he'll be paid the minimum salary for a fourth-year pro and the
$825,497 would be guaranteed.
If he renounces it, Singleton becomes a free agent. He said Thursday that
offers from other teams equal to the veteran minimum have been received by
his agent, Buddy Baker, and that he's weighing his options to find the best
situation.
And it's still possible that might be with the Mavericks, Singleton said,
even with the crowded situation at both forward spots.
"Their roster is pretty full right now," Singleton said. "It's about
situations and where you fit in best. Several teams out there wanted to sign
me to the same thing the Mavs want me to.
"If they think I'm holding out for more money, that's not what I'm doing. And
if I do return, they know what I'm going to give them. Hopefully things will
get squared away in the next week or two."
Singleton has put in a summer of serious work to build off last season, when
he averaged 5.1 points and 4 rebounds in 62 games (six starts). But he
quickly rattles off the names of Dirk Nowitzki, Tim Thomas, Shawn Marion,
Drew Gooden, Josh Howard and Kris Humphries, all forwards.
Of course, having a year in coach Rick Carlisle's system is a selling point
for the Mavericks. If Singleton moves on, he'll have to adjust to another
style.
The Mavericks aren't particularly enthused that Singleton is taking his time
in regard to accepting or rejecting the qualifying offer.
"The fact that he hasn't to this point has us a little upset," owner Mark
Cuban said. "It means he is looking for any deal he can find, dragging us
along rather than committing to us knowing that with the second year [as a
Maverick] under his belt, he becomes an early-bird free agent next year.
"If he doesn't want to be here, we would rather he just revoke the qualifier
and become a full free agent."
Buckner on the way out: Cuban said that swingman Greg Buckner won't be on the
roster by the regular season.
Buckner's contract is only partially guaranteed, meaning he can be waived and
the team that does so will owe him only half of his $4-million salary.
Buckner's professional attitude in past tours with the Mavericks is working
in his favor.
"Buck won't be here," Cuban said. "We will either make him part of a deal or
free him up so he can get another job. It's not fair to him to just drag it
along."
幾個月錢有消息Singleton增了10幾kg的肌肉
經過幾個月後
小牛鋒線變超滿的...
Singleton可能不會有很多上場時間
另外Cuban說Buckner將不會出現在下季名單中
意思是將被買斷掉或交易
