<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Mavericks have been begun negotiations with point guard Devin Harris on a contract extension. While Nelson described the talks with agent Henry Thomas as amiable, a deal is far from imminent. Harris' rookie contract expires after this season and he could become a restricted free agent. "Even if we can't get anything worked out, it can still be a win-win situation," Nelson said. "For both camps, it will be a better understanding of Devin's value." Harris, the fifth pick in the 2004 draft, averaged 10.2 points per game last season while starting 61 games. He has shown flashes of ability but consistency has been an issue. </div> Source: Dallas News
