Player Movement : George strengthens Mavs

The Dallas Mavericks have bolstered their chances of returning to the NBA Finals in 2006-07 with the signing of Devean George. The three-time champion provided respectable and consistent production off the bench for the Lakers last season. The Mavs hope that he can fill the void left by the departure of Adrian Griffin to Chicago. The SF is renowned for his defence and he managed to provide about one three-pointer per contest last season.
