The Dallas Mavericks have added another body to their ever growing frontcourt. The Mavericks have won the bidding for Elton Brand, the team announced on Friday. Brand was amnestied by the Philadelphia 76ers this week. Teams had 48-hours to submit bids to secure the rights to the final year on Brand's contract. Earlier this week, Dallas signed centers Chris Kaman and Brazilian star Rafael Hettsheimeir after exercising their option on Brandon Wright at the start of free agency. Dallas amnestied center Brenden Haywood on Thursday and traded backup center Ian Mahinmi to the Indiana Pacers. Last season, Brand averaged 11.0 points and 7.2 rebounds for Philadelphia in 60 games in helping lead the 76ers to the second round of the NBA Playoffs. Brand was drafted No. 1 overall in the 1999 NBA Draft by Chicago, earning NBA Rookie of the Year honors in 2000. Brand then joined the Clippers (2001-08) before the 76ers (2008-12).

Mavericks land Chris Kaman and Darren Collison, not bad recovery

Via Bloguin Best  |  July 12, 2012
Free agency wasn't going initially well for Dallas. Deron Williams didn't work out, nor did Jeremy Lin, Steve Nash, or any other Point Guard they tried to acquire. They didn't appear to have enough ammo for a real shot at Dwight Howard, and then Jason Kidd left along with Jason Terry. But I do have to say the Mavs recovered nicely yesterday. Vey nicely I think. First...
