Props to N41D for giving us the heads up on this. Here is what Tim McMahon had to say...

Eddie Sefko reports that the Mavericks have agreed to terms with center DeSagana Diop.

More to come ...

By "more to come"... I hope he means that Donnie and Cuban hold a press conference and explain to us how Diop is a better bang for their buck than Maggette was... and why we now have 15+ Million dollars at the center position that hasnt had the best of luck against the likes of quicker bigs like Amare, Bosh, etc...

UPDATE ESPN (link above) says he signs for 5 years... wow.

Free-agent center DeSagana Diop on Tuesday gave a verbal commitment to sign a new contract to return to Dallas Mavericks, according to NBA front-office sources.

Sources told ESPN.com that Diop, traded by the Mavericks to New Jersey in February as part of the Jason Kidd deal, will receive the Mavericks' full mid-level exception in a five-year deal starting at nearly $6 million.
