JULY 15, 2:07pm: The signing is official, the team announced in a press release.
JULY 7, 4:33pm: The Mavericks have reached a contract agreement with Argentinian swingman Nicolás Brussino, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports (ESPN Now link). Hat tip to Orazio Cauchi of Sportando, who also relayed the news.
It will be a three-year, minimum salary deal that includes a partial guarantee, Cauchi notes. The exact amount of that partial guarantee is unknown, but it is likely a minimal sum, though that is merely my speculation.
Brussino, 23, spent last season with Penarol in Argentina, making 59 appearances and averaging 14.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 28.1 minutes per night. His shooting line was .474/.394/.721.
I was hoping for a current Mavs posting. This is off subject but I was hoping someone can help.
What’s the status of JaVale McGee? Is he healthy? I read that the Mavs were looking to move him now that they have Bogut. Is he a waste of a roster spot or what? I want the Cavs to acquire him as a backup C.
I think he is healthy. He played some for us last season
Hes physically healthy but his heart and mind dont seem to be in it. The injuries we had at the end of the season/playoffs and he still wasnt getting many minutes, that tells you all you need to know about what Carlisle was seeing in practice and behind closed doors.
Thank you both.
