Mavericks Waive Bernard James, Josh Akognon

[RealGM Wiretap]

The Dallas Mavericks have waived Bernard James and Josh Akognon.

The Mavericks were forced to waive both players in order to clear cap space to sign Monta Ellis to a $25 million contract.

Dallas is interested in re-signing both players if they clear waivers.

I hope they are able to resign them both...I have a feeling they will both probably clear waivers.

I am surprised that Bernard James cleared waivers.

It seems a lot of teams could use some cheap/productive depth.

Bernard James is a good story (former Staff Sergeant in the Air Force). Hope he gets some more playing time.
