The all-star break is right around the corner, and shortly after that will be the time when playoff-bound teams start prepping their rosters to make deep postseason runs.
The Dallas Mavericks are reportedly getting a jump start on that as they’re close to signing Jermaine O’Neal. The last we saw of O’Neal, in Golden State, he was still serviceable although he had slowed down a bit. He’d be a good fit with most teams.
The Dallas Mavericks are confident they are inching closer to the eventual signing of veteran center Jermaine O’Neal, according to team sources.
Sources told ESPN.com that the Mavericks — who continue to closely monitor the 36-year-old center’s progress as O’Neal works out in preparation for a comeback — hope to sign him by the All-Star break.
“We’ll let you know when there’s any breaking news, but right now, there’s none,” Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said Sunday about Dallas’ pursuit of O’Neal.
