There were lots of Mavs fans saying that we should have kept Mbenga but if he can not make it on a team devoid of any Centers like G.S. then I think his NBA experience may be coming to an end.

If mavs trade one of the centers, especially Damp, then they could go re-sign

Warriors say it was due to nothing Mbenga did or didn't do... although his (small) contract was about to become guaranteed, the larger issue may have been Troy Hudson going down, Baron playing too much.
They picked up a D-League PG, on a 10-day, for the roster spot.

They could have had Barea and Hassell for Pietrus

DJ's fine as an insurance but nothing else.
If Gana doesn't get minutes, I doubt DJ would ever enter the court.

From the Lakers board
Please tell me Mitch is going to add this guy to the roster. I would pay him full MLE type money.
