France has produced some solid NBA players. Tony Parker, Nicolas Batum, Rony Turiaf and Ian Mahinmi are perhaps more of the notable French-born players and one of them who gets lost in the shuffle is Dallas Mavericks' Rodrigue Beaubois.
There is no doubt he can fill the basket (he's nicknamed "Roddy Buckets" for a reason). The lightning quick guard for Dallas has a career-high scoring outburst of 40 points in 2010 and season-high of 22 but it would seem this isn't enough for the Mavs.
According to ESPN, Beaubois may be on his way out of Dallas sooner or later.
Sources say Dallas is about ready to move on from the Roddy Beaubois experiment. The Mavericks have thought for years that the talented young Frenchman could be another Tony Parker, but he has not been able to master the move from shooting guard to point guard. Nor has he been able to fill the void left by J.J. Barea. If they don't move him before this year's deadline, he could be gone ove...

Dirk Nowitzki is beginning to find a rhythm. After starting the season slowly, he's taken time off and looks to be performing better as a result. Dirk Nowitzki is averaging 30 PPG in his last two contests (though he was inefficient last night vs. Boston) and the Mavs are going to him with regularity. What does Dirk Nowitzki need to do to continue performing better?...

Jason Kidd has been elected to ten All-Star Games, was named NBA Co-Rookie of Year in 1995, and finally won his first Championship ring last season with the Dallas Mavericks. His most recent accolade was that he passed Michael Jordan for second on the All-Time steals list with 2,517 career steals, passing arguably the best player to ever lace up a pair of Jordans...

Mavs very defensive as defending champs (AP)
The Dallas Mavericks have been quite defensive while defending their first NBA title. There was a big hole in the middle and plenty of questions about how drastically it would affect the Mavericks when they let stalwart defender Tyson Chandler go after last season. But Dallas (21-13), which also didn't re-sign gritty defender DeShawn Stevenson, goes into the All-Star break as one of the...
