After beginning the season with the first two games on the road at Los Angeles (Oct. 30) and at Utah (Oct. 31), the Mavericks will play eight of their 14 games in November at home. The November home schedule is highlighted by a visit from the New York Knicks (Nov. 21) and Los Angeles Lakers (Nov. 24).

March will prove to be the Mavericks’ busiest month when they play a season-high 16 games. March will come in like a lion when the Mavericks are on the road for six of their first seven games, including the team’s first-ever trip to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn to take on Deron Williams and the Nets, but will go out like a lamb with the Mavericks playing the final six games of the month within the friendly confines of American Airlines Center.

The Mavericks have 16 back-to-backs this season with only one stretch of four games in five nights. In total, 10 back-to-backs are on the road, three begin at home and conclude on the road and three are road-to-home.

JASON TERRY, "MARK CUBAN CALLED ME TO SAY..."

Jason Terry is excited about the possibility of joining the Boston Celtics for the upcoming season. Talking with Terry we learned that Mark Cuban did call him to inform him that the Mavs will not offer him a qualifying offer.

"He called me to say that the Mavs will not be able to offer what any other team could. We will not offer you a deal", says Terry. "Boston will be a good fit for me".

Terry is currently focused on his daughter's AAU team as they try to win a National Championship in Orlando. Full interview with Jet will air on Tuesday's show.

STEVE NASH IS A LA LAKER; 3 YEARS $25 MILLION

Words are only words...right. After Steve Nash gave a radio interview saying that he was "old school" and thought it would be to hard to wear a Lakers jersey, he will now join the team next season.

Nash, a two-time NBA MVP, will replace Ramon Sessions who opted out of his final year to pursue free agency. This will definitely help the Lakers stay title contenders in the Western Conference.

Nash turned down a lucrative deal from his home country Toronto Raptors of $36 million for the same 3 years. Lakers acquire Nash through sign and trade with Phoenix using a trade exception from Lamar Odom's deal.

Nash was also being pursued by his old team the Dallas Mavericks, NY Knicks, and Miami Heat also.

MAVS OUT OFF DERON WILLIAMS SWEEPSTAKES; JET TERRY HEADED TO BOSTON

Jet Terry has also received a 3 year, $15 million dollar deal to join the Boston Celtics. He will allow the Mavericks to counter offer the deal.

Listen to internet radio with RF Sports Radio on Blog Talk Radio

DERON WILLIAMS WILL MEET WITH DALLAS MONDAY, NETS ON TUESDAY, DECISION ON WEDNESDAY, OLYMPIC CAMP ON THURSDAY

Deron Williams is about to have the biggest week of his career. The Mavericks, who have put all the eggs in one basket, get the first try to sign D-Will.

Representing the Mavs will be Rick Carlisle, Donnie Nelson, and Michael Finley. Dirk and Mark Cuban are both out-of-town. This process started over a week ago with Jason Kidd golfing with Deron in the Hamptons.

The Nets best chance may be to make the trade for Dwight Howard before Deron arrives on Tuesday.

MAVERICKS TRADE 17th PICK FOR THREE SOLID PLAYERS

Immediately after drafting Tyler Zeller with the 17th pick, the Mavs looking to retool traded him to Cleveland for the 24th, 33rd, and 34th picks. Mavs take advantage and grab three players that can really help a depleted roster; Jared Cunningham, Bernard James, and Jae Crowder. Cunningham is a good raw talent at the 2. James, a 27-year old Iraq war veteran center, drew the Newark fans admiration with "U.S.A" chants. A first for a Maverick draft pick. Crowder is big power forward at 6' 6'' 241 pounds with a high octane motor. Watching Crowder play at Marquette, he could be the energy guy off the bench to bring the enthusiam similar to Jet Terry.

The also selected Darius Johnson-Odom

Macs biggest impact will still be made in the free agent market. Question is: Are they trying to bring in players to match with Deron Williams or are they trying to package player to get Sworn here? Stay tuned...

More on the players:

Cunningham (6-4, 194) from Oregon State. Named First Team All-Pac 12 as a junior when he averaged 17.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.5 steals per game.
