Popular Post Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 1, 2017 Author Popular Post Posted February 1, 2017 Could be really positive for Yogi if it materializes. From Bleacher Report: According to Sam Amick of USA Today, the Cleveland Cavaliers have contacted the Mavericks about a possible deal involving Deron Williams. On an 18-30 team in the Western Conference, Williams has done little improve things despite ranking fourth on the Mavericks with 13.5 points per game and leading the roster with 7.1 assists per night.

Popular Post Stuhoo Posted February 1, 2017 Popular Post Posted February 1, 2017 Sources: Mavs Plan To Offer 2-Year Contract To Yogi Ferrell MIKE FISHER Yesterday at 8:59 PM Mavs plan to offer 2-year contract to Yogi Ferrell, sources tell DallasBasketball.com The Dallas Mavericks plan to offer point guard Yogi Ferrell a two-year contract, sources tell DallasBasketball.com. Ferrell, an undrafted rookie from Indiana University, was given a 10-day contact last week to jump from the Long Island Nets of the D-League. On Monday, that 10-day will expire, at which time the 6-0, 178-pound Ferrell - a pivotal player in Dallas' recent shocking back-to-back wins over the Spurs and Cavs - will be eligible for a contract. Ferrell will get the vet-minimum offer (that's all Dallas has available) that will guarantee him a $543,471 prorated for the rest of this season. The second year, a minimum worth $1,312,61, could come with or without guarantees. (Worth noting: Ferrell will be free to sign with any team once his 10-day expires.) Ferrell, 23, was one of six D-League candidates Dallas considered for the call-up when another recent D-Leaguer, Pierre Jackson, was lost to injury. (Jackson, by the way, is back with the Texas Legends and rehabbing his hamstring.) The Mavs are still dealing with injuries at the point guard position ... and dealing with trade rumors, too. (Deron Williams' name keeps coming up there in national report; this DB.com analysis suggests that there is a better Cavs-Mavs trade fit than D-Will.) Said Mavs coach Rick Carlisle of Ferrell: "It shows the importance of point guards in this league, playmaking and energy – positive energy. He had two great nights and he deserves this (10-day opportunity.)" And now? The Mavs believe Yogi Ferrell deserves even more. HoosierAloha, Uwe Robb, Class of '66 Old Fart and 18 others 21 Quote
Trish Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Huge! I imagine the second year is non guaranteed Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Mark Cuban connection. Yogi did his thang when given a chance. Pretty cool. To think we nearly had a floundering year with Senior Yogi and Junior Troy who was and still is WAY underrated. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners hsrtxp and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote

HoosiersLoveBanners Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 After the 10 day deal, Yogi should maybe see if other teams are interested? That's a pretty team friendly deal proposed by the mavs. No way I would do 2 years. Signing for two years (for non guaranteed), 1.5m in the second.. is like betting against yourself for the rest of the season. I would definitely try to get some leverage on the Mavs or try to find an interested contender. Just my .02, Yogi. Quote
ccgeneral Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Looks confirmed from what Stu posted above. Yogi gettin' paid! The Dallas Mavericks plan to sign Yogi Ferrell to a two-year NBA contact when his 10-day contract is complete, league sources tell Peegs.com. Per NBA rules, a player on a 10-day contract has to complete that contract before signing another one. Ferrell has played 35 minutes or more in each of his first three games with the Mavericks, all wins, and has 15 assists against four turnovers in those games. Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle has been effusive in his praise of Ferrell, noting both Ferrell’s play and high basketball IQ in picking up things quickly. Ferrell had nine points, seven assists and zero turnovers in his first game with the Mavericks. In his three games with the Mavericks, Ferrell has 39 points, 15 assists, 10 rebounds, seven steals and four turnovers. Ferrell, who received a $100,000 signing bonus, this year will receive a prorated portion of the NBA minimum ($543,471) for a player with zero years experience. He has made $32,000 on each of his 10-day contracts. Under the current collective bargaining agreement, the minimum for an NBA player with one year experience is $874,636. http://www.scout.com/college/indiana/story/1752429-sources-mavs-to-sign-ferrell-to-2-year-deal Class of '66 Old Fart, HoosierAloha and Napleshoosier 3 Quote
