You're not going to like this.
5 yrs, full MLE.
dude what the
......no seriously, for how much?
Sorry.
That's it.
I'm officially a Clippers fan.
well they better find a way to get a few more boards and points per game out of him.
Holy . That's so in odd.
And Shank, can we get a link?
To give Diop the full MLE ( ing re ed), then have to have some insight on getting other guys through trades. If Breath, EJones, Terry, Damp and Stack are being shopped - I'm all for whatever they can get in return.

Free-agent center DeSagana Diop on Tuesday gave a verbal commitment to sign a new contract to return to Dallas Mavericks, according to NBA front-office sources.
Sources told ESPN.com that Diop, traded by the Mavericks to New Jersey in February as part of the Jason Kidd deal, will receive the Mavericks' full mid-level exception in a five-year deal starting at nearly $6 million.
Diop cannot officially sign and the Mavericks cannot officially comment until July 9, which is the first day NBA teams can announce signings and trades after a league-wide moratorium on roster moves is lifted.
Diop was a key member of the Dallas team that toppled its in-state rivals from San Antonio and reached the 2006 NBA Finals. It was the franchise's first trip beyond the Western Conference finals.
Marc Stein is the senior NBA writer for ESPN.com.
yea there must be more going on
thats an awful lot, but at the same time, there arent really any other good defensive big men that are out there, or will be out there anytime soon. big men are expensive and hard to come across. he just better play his butt off for us. at least hes still young, so at least we know we have a defensive inside presence locked up for a while.
@ mono's profile change.
The team that "toppled" its in-state rivals? I didn't know you called a narrow game 7, overtime victory a "toppling," but whatever.
I like this acquisition, but it seems way too expensive.
hahaha my team just got Baron Davis, you guys got Diop! You guys suck!
Elnono wants you to explain, in full detail, why Chris Kaman is a soft choker.
after the 1st preseason game the mavs front office will be stratching there heads at this signing...
Mavs would be just as well off by signing Mbenga to a minimum deal
Elnono wants you to explain, in full detail, why you think Chris Kaman is better than Dirk Nowitzki
Diop + Green + Foster =
Damn. Better hope the Mavs don't trade Dirk for Devin Harris.
The full MLE is too much for Diop.
Meh...they woulda been better off splitting the MLE between Justin Williams and Azubukkake.
Actually, it would be nice to hear the reasoning why Diop was named a scrub not 6 months ago, but nowadays commands a full MLE?
Some change of heart by Cubes!
