Devin Harris of the Mavericks is taking a very optimistic approach to an uncertain offseason, reports Eddie Sefko of The Dallas Morning News.
“I just think of it as a surgery-free summer,” Harris said. “So I try to enjoy it that way. Just enjoying healthy and working out and everything else will take care of itself. I don’t really worry about it. Obviously, I’m in a little bit of limbo, but I’m just preparing like I’m going to be here. And if I’m not, I’m not.”
The Mavs have until January 10th to opt out of Harris’ contract. Harris says he has yet to hear from Dallas regarding his team option for next season but that he is preparing to be with the team, tweets Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com.

- As for draft strategy, the prolific Sefko is at it again, explaining why the Mavericks might not draft a point guard, as they have widely been expected to do, but rather the best big man available.
The mavericks are terrible at drafting players. The only way a free agent signs here is if the mavs overpay for him.
The mavs haven’t had any picks to draft anybody good but there best draft pick of the last 10 years has been Crowder and he didn’t blossom until he left town.. I think it’s a Carlisle thing where he buries young guys on the bench never to be heard from
