The Mavs join 22 other NBA teams and a D-League select squad in Las Vegas for a five-game schedule starting next Saturday (Mavs schedule below). The Dallas team will be headlined by guard Dominique Jones, who heads into his third season looking to make a serious push for a rotation spot. He didn't get the chance to compete in Vegas last summer because the lockout wiped out the league. The Mavs' three draft picks will also carry intrigue: combo guard Jared Cunningham (24th), center Bernard James (33rd) and small forward Jae Crowder (34th). ESPN.com

The source noted that the Mavs could send the Magic some combination of the expiring contracts of Rodrigue Beaubois, Vince Carter, Dominique Jones and Brandan Wright, and rookies Jared Cunningham, Bernard James and Jae Crowder, plus draft picks and involve Ian Mahinmi in a sign-and-trade for Howard.

Rick Carlisle said they'll monitor Vince Carter progress before making a decision on possibly recalling second-year guard Dominique Jones from the club's D-League affiliate. The Dallas Mavricks assigned Jones to the Texas Legends on Sunday, prior to departing on this four-game road trip. Carter sprained his left foot on the final play of Monday's loss at the Los Angeles Lakers as he got off a game-tying 3-point attempt. Carlisle ruled Carter out for Wednesday's game at the Los Angeles Clippers, and it would seem unlikely that Carter, who couldn't put weight on the foot after the game, would be available for Thursday night's game at the Utah Jazz.

DallasBasketball.com and FOXSports has learned exclusively that Mavericks guard Dominique Jones is planning to follow up on his rookie (and championship) season by considering a trio of offers to leave the United States and play professionally overseas. Previously, Jones told us, "I turned down two offers to play overseas in Jerusalem and in Germany. No thanks. I'm fine with money. Since I was 5 years old, playing in the NBA was my dream."

On August 19, 2011, Kaufmann Sports Management Group, LLC (KSMG) announced (via its Facebook page) that it had signed Dallas Mavericks Guard Dominique Jones as a client. He has become KSMG’s first basketball client. Jones will be represented by KSMG for marketing purposes, while he will continue to be represented by Mike Hodges for team contracts. Hodges has represented Jones since he left the University of South Florida (USF) after his junior year. Dominique Jones was selected by the Memphis Grizzlies in the 1st round (#25 overall) of the 2010 NBA Draft. The Mavericks quickly purchased that pick from the Grizzlies and made Jones a part of what would become the 2011 NBA Champions. Sports Agent Blog

Former USF player Dominique Jones had his rookie season in the NBA cut short due to a stress fracture in his foot, but he'll still collect a ring/belt/bauble/small private island from Mark Cuban for winning a championship with the Dallas Mavericks this year. And to further celebrate the achievement, DoJo decided that it would be a killer idea to get the Larry O'Brien trophy tattooed on his neck. Jason Terry already tattooed the O'Brien trophy on his bicep before the season, so maybe it's the start of a trend. Picture of the tattoo after the jump. (Safe for work, but maybe a little creepy.)

Dominique Jones will get his first taste of life on the road in the NBA Development League this weekend when the Texas Legends head to Fort Wayne, Ind., to play the greatly named Mad Ants. For now, the plan is to keep the Mavericks' rookie with the Frisco-based Legends. "He's there for now. I don't know how long he'll be there,'' coach Rick Carlisle said. "They're headed for Fort Wayne for a couple games, they're back for a game and they go to North Dakota for a couple games. At this point, he's on that trip to Fort Wayne. Dallas Morning News

The Dallas Mavericks sent first-round draft pick Dominique Jones to their NBDL affiliate in Frisco last week to give him some playing time and add some punch to the Texas Legends' home opener. After three games with the Legends, it appears the 6-foot-5 shooting guard might staying with coach Nancy Lieberman a little longer. The Mavs begin a season-long, six - game homestand on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors, but Jones remains with the Legends. ESPN.com

Dominique Jones probably didn't think the most action he'd see in a game so far would come in Frisco and not Dallas, and in the NBDL and not the NBA. But, that's the way it is for a late first-round draft pick on a team loaded with veterans and off to a 13-4 start. After Monday's win over the Houston Rockets, Jones was sent to the D-League Texas Legends, co-owned by Mavs president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson, to play in the Legends' home opener on Tuesday night. He likely remain with the Legends to close out the homestand with games on Friday and Saturday. ESPN.com

Isn’t it disappointing for Jones, being a first round draft pick, to be sent down the D-League? Cuban: Not at all. I mean, look, the list is long of first round draft picks who have gone down there and gotten playing time and come back and been contributors. So, it’s not unusual at all and remember, most first round picks that you look to contribute aren’t on playoff caliber, top-four, top-five teams. You need contributions from your first round picks when you’re a bad team; that’s when they just get thrown into the fire and are expected to really have an impact. On good teams that really doesn’t happen. If anything, you hear all the lessons about them having to bide their time and that’s what D.J. is having to do. And that’s what really happens on this team over the last ten years. It’s rare when a guy comes in…we drafted Devin Harris at No. 5; he came in and started the first ten games and then didn’t get on the court for who knows how long. Dallas Morning News
