After getting jettisoned from Orlando, as expected, veteran free agent guard Jameer Nelson has inked a two-year deal with the Dallas Mavericks. From the press release:
A native of Chester, Pa., Nelson was originally the 20th overall selection in the 2004 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets. His draft rights were traded to the Magic where he spent his career until Orlando waived him on June 30, 2014. Last season, Nelson averaged 12.1 points, 7.0 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 32.0 minutes in 68 games (68 starts).
Nelson was named to his first NBA All-Star Game in 2009 when he averaged 16.7 points, 5.4 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 31.2 minutes while shooting .503 from the field, .453 from three-point range and .887 from the foul line.
Official numbers on Jameer Nelson's new contract with Dallas: $2,732,000 next season, $2,854,940 player option next season
