Terry finally signs deal with Mavericks (AP) Updated: 2006-07-26 08:43
DALLAS - Jason Terry finally signed his six-year contract with the Dallas
Mavericks on Tuesday.
Terry was the team's second-leading scorer last season and a big reason why
the Mavericks made the NBA finals for the first time. The Mavericks said he was
their No. 1 offseason priority and proved it, agreeing to a deal worth around
$50 million about 12 hours after negotiations could begin July 1.
Contracts weren't allowed to be signed until July 12, and Terry had been
traveling since then.
Since the deal with Terry, the Mavs have added guard Anthony Johnson and
power forward Austin Croshere in separate trades with Indiana, signed swingman
Greg Buckner and re-signed center D.J. Mbenga. They've also traded Marquis
Daniels and Darrell Armstrong, and lost Adrian Griffin in free agency.
