    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Dallas News - The Dallas Mavericks reportedly considered the idea of signing Bonzi Wells, as the free agent struggled to find a suitor this offseason, but the presence of Maurice Ager out of Michigan State allowed them to steer clear of the former member of the Kings, Grizzlies and Blazers.

    "I've always tried to be aggressive," Ager said Sunday. "If you're tentative, you're not going to play as well. We lift a lot of weights at Michigan State. You got to be tough. And that toughness has helped me get to this level. Honestly, I like going to the basket. Sometimes I'll settle for the 3. But my game is driving the paint." </div>

    Dallas would've had Bonzi if they didnt get Ager.

    Not necessarily, Bonzi wasn't obligated to sign with Dallas though they were interested in him.

    I'm happy we didnt get him. Not a fan of Bonzi, and I think our team (especially our chemistry) will be better off without him. Also, doesn't that show that Ager is really showing the Mavs something that we would pass on a proven, solid NBA player because of his prescense? I'm excited.

    Bonzi Wells was no where near in signing with Dallas.
