I don't see the Mavs competing with the top of the West unless they add some major pieces.

Jason Kidd has given the Dallas Mavericks a verbal commitment that he will re-sign with the team Wednesday.

 

 

Kidd, 36, will receive a 3-year, fully guaranteed contract worth in excess of $25 million.

 

"We are excited to have Jason Kidd back in a Mavs uniform," Mavericks owner Mark Cuban told The Dallas Morning News. "He was a major contributor for us last year, and we expect more of the same next year."

 

Kidd elected to stay in Dallas in the face of a hard push from the New York Knicks, who last week offered Kidd the most they could ($19 million over three years).
