Dallas Mavericks sign Former Slam Dunk Champ, Gerlad Green

Former slam dunk champion Gerald Green signed a one-year, minimum-salary contract with the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday.

The 6-foot-8, 200-pound swingman is known mostly for his exploits in the last two dunk contests, winning it in 2007 and finishing second to Dwight Howard this year. In games that count, he has career averages of 8.1 points and 2.2 rebounds. He's played for Boston, Minnesota and Houston in his three-year career since being drafted 18th overall coming out of high school.

The Mavericks are hoping that pairing Green -- who is still only 22 -- with Jason Kidd will bring out the best in the former teen prodigy.

Jason Kidd needs big men help like he had awhile back with Kenyon Martin in New Jersey!

This move could work well but the Mavs will always have trouble with the LAKERS!!

Gilbert Arenas agrees to less money by signing a 6 year deal worth $111 Million to help struggling Washington Wizards

The unpredictable three-time All-Star point guard, in vintage Agent Zero fashion, told the Post and the Washington Times on Thursday that he has agreed to re-sign for $111 million over six years, considerably less than the maximum deal he said the Wizards offered him when the free agency period began on Tuesday.
Like the earlier Chris Paul signing, Arenas is an important part of his squad. Now if someone can figure out what players will actually help the New York Knicks win some games?!?
