Allen of course was brought to Dallas in the controversial Jason Kidd trade, and averaged 4.6 points and 2.7 rebounds last season, good luck in Milwaukee Malik.

Mavericks have made an offer for Artest.
Yes, Yes they did.
Unsurprisingly enough, Brandon Bass was offered along with Jerry Stackhouse for Ron Artest, no one has publicly admitted this is true, but.. you know it is.
Apparently the Kings aren't going to consider the deal without Dallas taking Kenny Thomas's contract... oh, and did I mention they want Josh Howard or no deal as well?
Well then, now you are in the know. I say play it your way Sacramento, keep Artest.. he'll whine and whimper for the rest of the season, or you can take what we offer and not get greedy.

Tyrron Lue signs with Bucks..
Bit of a step down from his original assumption that he'd go to the Suns, Heat or Celtics... oh well, Bucks offered him more money I guess, good luck Lue.

Gerald "Cupcake" Green Leads Mavs Boys of Summer to victory.
Gerald Green was having a rocky game Wednesday afternoon, until he turned into Batman, scoring 18 points. shooting 5 of 12.
Once again Charles "Chuckie" Rhodes was a solid player getting a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds, oh yeah!
Rough game for Ronnie Seibutis who got to start again today, his line wasn't as impressive as Monday's game however, he finished with 2 points and 2 rebounds.
Quiet game yet again from James Singleton and Keith Mcleod the veterans that were offered roster spots Singleton getting just 8 points and 2 rebounds.
Mcleod's number not much better with 5 points, 2 assists, and 2 rebounds.
Reyshawn Terry was still pretty reliable coming off the bench with 7 points and a beastly 9 rebounds.
Shan Foster didn't have his best game with 6 points, 2 assists, and 2 rebounds but it was a nice contribution coming off the bench.
Aaron Miles came off the bench with 4 points, and 4 assists in 13 minutes of game play.
Richie Frahm proved he can shoot with 9 points, 2-3 from downtown and 2 rebounds... no assists however which is kind of a requirement for a point guard.
Pape Sow also looking better with 9 points, 6 rebounds.
The Jajuan Smith Saga continues, Jajuan came off the bench racking up 10 points on 2-5 shooting from downtown and 2 rebounds in 11 minutes.
Not too much of an impressive night for Reggie Williams and Derrick Low.
Williams playing just 4:50 and getting 2 pts and 1 reb.
Low once again didn't get on the score board shooting 0-2 with no assists and 1 steal in 7:18 minutes... perhaps they still have a chance to dazzle us if they can ever get anything more than garbage time.
Anyway the bottom line is, Mavs get it done again 93-71 and they have split their first 4 games of the summer 2-2.

Germany Duo do it again!
Today was a bad day for New Zealand... why? Because Dirk Nowitzki and his new sidekick Chris Kaman made it rain on them like no other, Dirk and C.K. combined for a total of 55 of the teams 89 points! are you kidding me?! that's incredible!
The teams third highest scorer would be Pascal Roller with 10 points.
Oh and another little tidbit, Marcus Camby was traded to The Clippers yesterday, this has true MFFL buzzing about the possibility of Kaman being traded, however it is rumored that the Clips plan to use either Kaman or Camby at the PF position in an attempt to replace Elton Brand...
Neither side of this is written in stone, but perhaps Cuban is now giving Mike Dunleavy a ring, and the two are having a little talk about getting the two Germans together in Dallas...
Too soon to dream?

Dirk and Kaman and Team Germany crush Cape Verde!
I guess it sounds mean when I put it that way.. good!
man I would love to this duo happen in Dallas!!!
Dirk only needed to bring 16 pts and 5 rebs to the table, and was able to sit out most of the second half, while Kaman had his usual double double 10 pts 10 rebounds.... hardly an explosion right?
wrong! Germany Hulk-Smashed Cape Verde 104-68... now that's not right!
Go Team Germany!

Mavs Boys of the summer give Wolves the business!
You might've noticed that I skipped the first two games of the Mavs Summer League and started with the 3rd game, this is simply because the first two games made me cry, that is an exaggeration, sort of.
First off the Boys 88-74 win over the Wolves doesn't sound too impressive, but the game wasn't always that close. especially not in the 1st half, The Mavs outscored the Wolves 48 to 30.
All of the guys are looked much more relaxed on the court, but this game was won mainly by the bench scoring over more than 50 points!
Reyshawn Terry put doubts about his performance to bed Monday night, stepping in from the bench and drilling in 15 pts and 4 rebounds, pales in comparison to Eric Gordon's performance the other day, but this was no one man show!
The biggest, and best unexpected surprise came from Jajuan (pronounced Joo-Wan) Smith, Exploding for 19 pts in 18 minutes, shooting 4-6 from downtown!
By the way, Shan Foster has game! before we were stuck having to just take Carlisle, Cuban, and Nelson on their word about Foster, but Monday he made me a believer.
when I describe him, the name Brandon Bass usually comes up, but this kid is making a name for himself, scoring 17 pts, and looking good doing it! no one is for certain what's going to happen with the last 1 or 2 spots left on the Mavs squad, but there is no way that Foster doesn't get one of those, having been pretty consistent thus far, hopefully he keeps it up, and carries it into the big boy league.
"Chuckie" Rhodes, I won't lie, I want to see this guy on the court with J-Kidd and The Big German! Rhodes is a beast, with a large body. for the past 3 games he has been a real eye opener.
Currently the Mavs roster is set at 14, but the Mavs (just like the defenders.) better make some room for the big nightmare himself Charles Rhodes.
That's right Shaq, move out the way, or Chuckie will dunk your hand off!!...
That too is an exaggeration, but with his ability to play back up for Dirk and Bass or even Damp and Diop (in special cases) Rhodes is a keeper averaging around 13 pts a game.
Ronnie Seibutis got a chance to start and had a solid game with 9 points, 2 rebs, 2 assists, and a steal which is better than Keith Mcleod did. I wish the Mavs would find some room for this guy and Reyshawn Terry already, whatever their doing overseas can be done here, and they can't be any worse than some of the dead weight that the Mavericks had on the roster last season.
Honorable Mentions: Pape Sow, Derrick Low , Aaron Miles, and Reggie Williams.
Dishonorable Mentions: Keith Mcleod and James Singleton.
More on these 6 guys next time.
-Cheers!
