The Mavs could look to add a veteran pass-first point guard prior to the end of the season, Eddie Sefko of The Dallas Morning News writes. Team owner Mark Cuban hinted at as much after Friday’s contest.

Though there would be little benefit to bolstering the roster for the final five days of the regular season, the lottery-bound Mavs would at least have an option of keeping whoever they pick up through the summer to gauge if he’ll fit in the future.
Neither Cuban nor president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson gave any indication of who the late-season add might be but a cursory look at the available free agents that fit the specific niche reveal a few possibilities that the club could pursue.
Mario Chalmers, Jarrett Jack and Rodney Stuckey are among the number of available options that the Mavs could kick the tires on. Chalmers and Jack, of course, actively pursued a comeback this season while Stuckey was a member of the Pacers up until his release late last month.
Currently the Mavs roster sits at 14 after the club opted not to re-sign 10-day contract signee Manny Harris to a longer-term deal.
Tony Romo!
