Reginald “Reggie” Jamaal Evans, nicknamed “The Joker*”, from Pensacola, Florida has already had an NBA career worthy of several notes.
Raptor fans will best remember Reggie Evans from brief encounters with him playing for other teams.
Reggie Evans grabbed a career high 19 defensive rebounds in Toronto on Mar. 10, 2006 and set an interesting mark of zero points and 20 boards, a somewhat rare accomplishment.
In the 2006 playoffs, Reggie was caught reaching under Kaman’s shorts while defending him in the post. After the incident, in which Evans ended up with a flagrant two foul, Kaman complained about feeling violated. Some might call Reggie Evans a dirty player!
Anyone watching Reggie Evans live or on TV will have noticed that it’s not a good idea to let Reggie handle the ball. Although his official turnover numbers are not high, the best description that I can come up with is “Reggie has hands of stone!”

Don't hold your breath for Marcus Banks to become a Maverick
The Matt Carroll-for-Marcus Banks trade rumor is apparently just that, a rumor. There isn't a realistic chance of it happening, according to somebody who would know.
Not that the deal would have had any impact on the Mavs' rotation.
As far as adding to the core goes, the Mavs will continue to work the phones to see if they can make any more upgrades. But if they get anything for...
Did Jose Calderon Deal With His Hamstring Injury Properly?
