Source: Mavs eyeing Sasha Pavlovic (http://www.sportsfanlive.com/web/article?action=viewArticle&articleId=9754757&team=nba-dallas_mavericks&tid=twitter)
By Marc Stein

The Dallas Mavericks are getting closer to making a roster move in the wake of Caron Butler’s season-ending knee injury … albeit a minor roster move.

The Mavs plan to sign former first-round draft pick Sasha Pavlovic to a 10-day contract this week, according to a source close to the situation.

Dallas doesn’t play again until Wednesday, when it visits the Indiana Pacers after a three-day break.

Pavlovic has been looking for a new team since the summer after averaging just 3.7 points in limited minutes last season in 71 games with Minnesota. The 27-year-old is regarded as a small forward with decent size and a proven 3-point stroke, but likewise considered suspect defensively.

The Serbian swingman, drafted No. 19 overall pick in the 2003 draft by the Utah, spent one season with the Jazz and five with Cleveland before the Cavaliers dealt him to Phoenix in the Shaquille O’Neal trade in June 2009. Pavlovic never played for the Suns, signing a one-year contract with Minnesota in the summer of 2009 after the Suns bought him out.

Dallas waived Steve Novak last week to make room to add a player.

That won't cut the mustard.

They'll need more than that.

[ElNono]

He's not bad, but he's no better than Butler I don't think...

[DeadlyDynasty]

This changes everything.

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Just a 10 day, see what he's got (if anything)
Just a move to see where the Mavs stand when healthy, then evaluate if a trade is necessary

Yes. No sense in rushing it. They're going to need something.

Take your time. Do it good.

we better get our shit together fast.

Lakers are right on our ass.

Would rather play the Spurs in 2nd round than Lakers anyway.

You can't concern yourself with immediate seeding. You've got to make the correct acquisition here. Your entire season rests on this transaction.

If you decide recklessly, or, foolishly, it's over.

How much longer until Dirk suits up?

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

He'll practice tommorow see how it feels.
Looking like Wednesday against Indiana. He says no later than next week

[ElNono]

That's good. Good luck to him.

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Might be to replace stevenson if they package his expiring with other expirings in a salary dump with some team. This can't be their final solution tho.

Would hate to trade away Stevenson man, really feel like he is coming along great. I don't think this has anything to do with a future trade.
I think the Mavs are just throwing something against the wall hoping it sticks. Low risk high reward

[jjktkk]

Pavlovic seemed to fall off the face of the earth. Thought he was a decent starting caliber sf a couple of seasons ago. Then he just disappeared. Thought maybe the Spurs would of given him a look.

[mystargtr34]

Lol duncan228 trolling Mav fans.

[GinobiliForTres]

Hopefully he'll play Friday.

[Giuseppe]

Hopefully he'll play Friday.

Uh, uh. That won't work for us. We'll need you to dispatch them.

[Fireball]

Uh, uh. That won't work for us. We'll need you to dispatch them.

The way players are injuring themselves against the Spurs Dirk should better skip this. But I look forward to a matchup with him in the lineup ...

[MavFan6488]

even if dirk plays and we lose, we have another good excuse in caron butler, who dropped 30 on you the last time..

poor spur fans, still waiting for that first W against the mavs at full strength this season :toast

Oh, Lord, the "full strength" argument used by MavsSpurs Fans equally.

[duncan228]

It's done.


Mavericks sign Pavlovic to 10-day contract (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-mavericks-pavlovic)

The Dallas Mavericks have signed Montenegrin forward Sasha Pavlovic to a 10-day contract.

The deal Monday comes after All-Star forward Dirk Nowitzki has missed seven consecutive games with a right knee injury. The Mavericks are also without Caron Butler, who is likely done for the season because of a torn tendon in his right knee.

Pavlovic hasn’t been in the NBA this season, but has played 452 games over seven seasons with Utah (2003-04), Cleveland (2004-09) and Minnesota (2009-10). He was originally a first-round pick, 19th overall, by the Jazz in 2003.

The native of Yugoslavia has career averages of 5.5 points, 1.9 rebounds in 16.5 minutes per game.

Pavlovic will be available for Wednesday’s game at Indiana.
