PrintMarc Stein reports that the Mavericks are finalizing the signing of Sean Williams. @WojYahooNBA tweeted about this possibility last night and we kept you up to date here.
So apparently the Mavericks found another Big-Man that they like. The athletic Williams will battle for minutes with Ian Mahinmi behind starting center Brendan Haywood. He finished 2nd in the DPOY-voting in the D-League last season and they hope he can fill voids left by Tyson Chandler. He'll play for the minimum because that's all the Mavs can offer, so it's a typical low-risk move by their front office.
According to the poll in this piece, where you were able to vote on the the Mavs possibilities in the center market, percentage-wise most of you wanted to stay put at that position, so feel free to post your sentiments on the new acquisition now. Strangely, nobody voted for Williams!? I guess I didn't dig deep enough into overseas territory to come up with that fella.

Low risk, high reward
Rob Mahoney already has an interesting analysis of Williams’ strength, weaknesses, low cost, and potential.
I actually like Sean Williams, he is a talented athlete who seems to have fixed his character issues
Sean Lissemore = The next Bruce Smith
Love this move.
Would gladly take Williams over Joel Pizzabrillia.

Also is this the same Sean Williams we had shortly a few seasons ago?
Football Fever is in full swing.
Nope. You're thinking of Shawne Williams, the small forward
If I’m not mistaken, he’s with NJ now.

I like that he can run the floor
Whoever wins the backup C spot, our 2nd unit is built for speed:

Just got caught up with the preseason games
And I just realized how much I have missed my Mavs.. Durant’s Dirk imitation was pretty neat.
