Although terms were not disclosed for Johnson, 39, he had to receive no less than the 10-year veteran's minimum of $1.1 million. He averaged 4.6 points and 2.4 assists in 46 games for Golden State last season, his 16th in the NBA. The 5-11 Johnson also played for Dallas from midway through the 2001-02 season and the 2002-03 campaign before being traded to Golden State in the Antawn Jamison deal. He has averaged 8.4 points and 5.5 assists in 1,054 career games with Dallas, Golden State, San Antonio, Seattle, Houston and Denver.</div> Full Story
Werent there talks of Avery being looked at by the mavericks, as a coach? I dont think he can still cut it as a player but I do think that he would make a good coach. Avery isnt as good as he used to be like most veterans and at 39, I do think its smart getting a veteran old enough to successfully mentor Devin Harris and make him a great NBA standard pointgaurd.
