<h1 class="storyTitle"><font size="2">Harris agrees to five-year contract extension</font></h1> DALLAS -- The Dallas Mavericks and Devin Harris have agreed on a five-year contract extension worth roughly $42 million, locking up the speedy point guard through the 2012-13 season.</p> Harris would've been going into the final year of his rookie contract. Instead, he has the comfort of knowing that he'll be teammates with reigning MVP Dirk Nowitzki and All-Star Josh Howard for years to come. Both are signed through 2010-11.</p> "We wanted Devin going into this year with a clear mind," team president Donnie Nelson said Thursday. "He's one of the bright young point guards of the future in this league. The fact he was invited to the Dream Team Junior squad shows there are a lot of people that are very high on his future, us obviously being one of them."</p> Harris was part of a select squad chosen that played against the U.S. national team to help prepare them for last month's FIBA Americas tournament.</p> </p> </p>
