Tim Thomas Sidelined Indefinitely

Tim Thomas who signed with the Mavericks this summer that would have given us some outside presence has been sidelined indefinitely after injuring himself during a workout this summer at home. He underwent knee surgery this week and will be out.

That’s a bummer. So does this mean Greg Ostertag is coming aboard? We’ll wait and see.

Singleton Signs, Buckner Released and Greg Ostertag

The Mavericks signed Singleton to a year contract worth 1 million. Buckner was released, which was anticipated as Singleton is the 17th contract signed by the Mavericks for the next roster year. NBA limits the roster to 15 active players currently.

Other news is that Tim Thomas was injured in an off season pick up game. Hopefully this is not a serious injury that puts him out for some of the season or all of it. There are talks and rumors that Greg Ostertag would love to come out of retirement to play for the Mavericks. Ostertag is a native of the area, out of Duncanville. He was stated in saying he would love to end his career with the Mavericks as they were his team growing up and still are.

Relief For Dirk

Well it’s confirmed that Cristal Taylor was never pregnant with Dirk’s baby after she was arrested. I always had my doubts, since she’s pretty much a con-artist anyways from her record. I’m sure she targeted Dirk from the beginning with the wrong number calling story.

I’m sure this is a huge relief for Dirk and now he can move on without this leach in his life.
