DALLAS (Ticker) - Guard Erick Strickland is back with the Dallas Mavericks.
Strickland, who played with the Mavericks from 1996-2000, signed with the team on Monday.

The nine-year veteran also played with New York, Vancouver, Boston and Indiana.
Dickens played in 11 games with New Jersey last season and averaged 1.2 points.
Udrih is the older brother of San Antonio Spurs guard Beno Udrih. A two-time Slovenian All-Star, Samo Udrih averaged 13.6 points and 2.4 assists while shooting nearly 57 percent from the floor for Hopoel Tel-Aviv of the FIBA Europe League.

For those who do not know, Samo is in the championship DVD. During Game 7 of the Finals they show the scoreboard- I think at halftime or end of third quarter- and then show a guy in black by the profile. That is Samo!!

By any chance do you know who these guys are? They were at Best Buy with Beno the day my friends and I saw him there.

Re: Beno's brother is in Mavericks' training camp
^ No. I recognize a few of Beno's friends, but not them. I thought he had a coach with him in SA but I don't know.
This is Samo.

Beno is waaay better.
Samo didn't exactly make a name for himself even when he was playing in Slovenia. I am actually very surprised Dallas took him for the training camp...
-
Re: Beno's brother is in Mavericks' training camp
I agree, Samo is no way near Beno.....I'm surprised too. There's no way he's gonna be in Dallas for more than just training camp. No offense to Samo, but he really isn't good.

Agreed!

Re: Beno's brother is in Mavericks' training camp
He just need a chance to prove himself. I liked him when he played in Union Olimpija Ljubljana. He had some god games. He's a bomb waiting to explode (just like Beno)!
btw: Beno wasn't very popular among Slovenians before NBA.

Re: Beno's brother is in Mavericks' training camp
Exactly, i was surprised with beno - spurs signing also, probably because he played in forgoten russia, samo is playing in forgoten izrael :)
Whatever brings you more money...
But he probably wont be picked up

Re: Beno's brother is in Mavericks' training camp

I am still waiting for the Mexican imported NBA stars named:
Guadalupe "Pito" Rodriguez
Horacio "Chacho" Dominguez
If I gave you my name you would freak out!

Re: Beno's brother is in Mavericks' training camp
Samo is pronounced Saamo.

Samo is healthier. They are both good, still Beno was star material for us.
I think they would make a special spice to Dallas-SA games.

Re: Beno's brother is in Mavericks' training camp
This is a big surprise for me. What is he doing there anyway, and when was he drafted?
-
Re: Beno's brother is in Mavericks' training camp
If he sucks, then he got a good chance to make the Mavs :)

Re: Beno's brother is in Mavericks' training camp
I am late posting this, but Samo got waived by Dallas last week. :(

Re: Beno's brother is in Mavericks' training camp
Beno, Samo.....What do they do, pick an american name, and add an "o" to the end,
What happened to Radoslav then? His nickname on the asphalt of Slovenia must have been "The Rash"

The Mavs realized he's not NBA material. I read he already signed somewhere in Europe, but I forgot where. I just know it's not Slovenia. I believe he just lasted a week in mavs training camp before they waived him.
Not surprised though...

Re: Beno's brother is in Mavericks' training camp
He signed with Spanish team Girona witch beat defending champs Real Madrid in first round. Samo scored 5 pts in limited minutes.

Re: Beno's brother is in Mavericks' training camp
Although i was rooting for him to make to that mavs team, i was shoked he was even invited, there are hundreds of better players out there. Their scouts must suck.

Please stop talking bullshit, you probably haven't even seen him play. At least not for a while... If nothing else and if you look just the stats, beeing a second best PG in the Izraelian league behind Sarunas isn't that bad, don't you think..?!?

Considering the quality of Israeli league (with the exception of Macabi) it's not that good either...

Re: Beno's brother is in Mavericks' training camp
Actually israelie league is quite good, they got atleast couple strong teams that are playing in lower level euro leagues, so if he was really 2nd best pg only behind sarunas is surprise to me, mainly because he played average in slovenian league compared to others. I guess he improved greatly, grats to him then :)
