Bernard James Clears Waivers

Center Bernard James has cleared waivers, according to Marc Stein of ESPN.com (via Twitter).  The Mavs were forced to waive James for cap reasons, but today's news clears the way for him to re-sign with Dallas.

James is an athletic big man entering his second season in the league and is thought to have a decent amount of upside potential.  With a salary less than $1MM, it seemed like there was a good chance of James being picked up by another club.  One possible deterrent with James was that claiming him off of waivers would have meant guaranteeing his salary for 2013/14.

The 28-year-old center saw just 9.9 minutes per contest last season and averaged 2.8 PPG.
