Former NBA guard Dee Brown announced through his Twitter account that he is coming to Dallas Mavericks training camp later this month hoping to re-ignite his career.
There are some of their tweets here:
"I want to thank the mavs org. for showing interest,n giving me this opportunity!to my fam,friends,fans thank u for the continued support!YER"
"@mcuban Thanks for the great opportunity to represent your organization much respect DB!"
"Let me clear this situation up!nothing guaranteed I have to go n get it!its still a blessing cuz I have always said I would do this for FREE"
Mavs owner Mark Cuban confirmed that the 6-footer, who last year played for Maccabi Tel Aviv, will be in camp. Brown will come on a non-guaranteed contract. The Mavs have one open spot on the 15-man roster.
Brown, the 46th overall draft pick of the Utah Jazz in 2006 out of Illinois, where he played with Jazz All-Star point guard Deron Williams, also played with Washington and Phoenix, as well as several stints overseas.

"Hoy es un gran día" twiteaba el base. "He sido bendecido con la oportunidad de formar parte del Training Camp de los Dallas Mavericks. No tengo contrato asegurado, pero estoy muy agradecido a la organización por darme esta oportunidad de ganarme un sitio".
Mark Cuban confirmó que el base de 26 años hará la pretemporada con los Mavericks con un contrato no garantizado. Brown (6'0, 185 Lbs) se caracteriza por ser muy rápido, penetrador y muy luchador.
Lo más posible es que su presencia se deba a la baja por lesión de Rodrigue Beaubois, quien se perderá la mayor parte de la pretemporada y quizás también el inicio de Temporada Regular con una fractura en el pie. Una vez Roddy esté recuperado, veremos si Brown ha conseguido convencer a los Mavs de que debe quedarse.
