LOS ANGELES – The Mavericks still are hoping to fill the 15th spot on their roster, and veteran guard Tyronn Lue has surfaced as a possibility.

An NBA source said Saturday that Lue, who was waived by the Sacramento Kings on Friday, is weighing his options and that at least three Western Conference teams are in the running.

Denver was believed to be the strongest suitor for Lue, who will not clear waivers until Tuesday.

But the source said the Mavericks and perhaps Phoenix were still in the running, since both teams missed out on Brent Barry.

The Mavericks are in the market for a 3-point shooter, just like the other contenders in the West.

Lue is a 43.5 percent 3-point shooter this season and has a reputation as a solid locker-room presence. The Mavericks are concerned with their depth behind point guard Jason Kidd.

Why?!?

Is the PG pool that shallow? D-League?

Well if he's that good of a shooter the Mavs might finally have the PG they need to close out tight games.

Yeah Lue, Terry, Howard, and Nowitzki, Offensive juggernaut lineup if you go by 3 point percentages.

The guy is literally like 5-9. I'm surprised he's made it this long in the league. He is a great shooter though and does seem like he's a nice guy.

Considering the options for improving your roster this time of the season, he'd be a nice addition.
