We’re still working under the assumption that Dallas will sign a power forward … and that his front-court credentials and spot on the camp totem pole will be similar to Dee Brown’s backcourt credentials and spot on the totem pole. And we are told that, Diogu or not, the Mavs plan to finalize something by midweek. (No update yet on the Brian Cardinal/Bobby Simmons/Steve Novak involvement here.) dallasbasketball.com

Dallas Mavericks, Ike Diogu 

The other guys who might be decent stopgaps are coming off surgeries – specifically Brian Scalabrine (shoulder) and Ike Diogu (ACL), so you’re not going to invest there, either. Josh Boone? Definitely in the been-there-done-that-forget-it category. Newark Star-Ledger

Could his hometown Dallas Mavericks, who do not have a power forward on the roster after Dirk Nowitzki, be a player for Diogu? "It's definitely something I'd be interested in looking at doing," Diogu said. However, Diogu said he believes he will return to the New Orleans Hornets. Diogu signed as a free agent with the Hornets last summer, but he suffered an early, season-ending injury to his left knee that required microfracture surgery. ESPN.com
