Mike Fisher of DallasBasketball.com wonders if the Mavs should copy the Ravens' HBO show format.

From Dallas News staff reports: Center Evan Eschmeyer visited Dallas on Saturday, staying just long enough to pass a physical and sign a six-year, $19 million contract with the Mavericks.

Eschmeyer had essentially been a Maverick since Aug. 8, when the restricted free agent signed a Mark Cuban offer sheet, but he couldn't officially join his new team until waiting 15 days ? even though New Jersey apparently had no plans to match the Mavericks' offer after signing Todd MacCulloch.

Jodie Valade of the Dallas Morning News reports: The Mavericks brought Tim Hardaway to Dallas on Thursday, introducing him as the newest addition to their ever-evolving roster. And if we are to believe coach-general manager Don Nelson, that move signals the end of the summer trading and signings for the Mavericks.

No more adding to a roster that could already be 18 players long by the time training camp begins. No more trades or tweaking. With only the longshot possibility of a sign-and-trade to make free agent Gary Trent happy, no other movement is expected.
