Former Tennessee wing JaJuan Smith has signed a free-agent contract with the Dallas Mavericks and will play with the NBA club in the Las Vegas summer league starting Friday.
Smith, who was not drafted last month, is one of 15 free agents vying for four roster spots.

Yeah, couldn't help but notice the misspelling of summer by the headline saying "summar"!
I could see JaJuan Smith playing for Dallas. He's their type of player. I'd love to see him make the roster.

Just so you guys know, Lofton ended up going with the Denver Nuggets for his summer ball.

Summer roster filler players can at least catch on with other teams if they show talent. My guess is that he may play in the NBA development league for further seasoning. Good luck, JaJuan! (unless, of course, you are playing against the Spurs.) SAVol

Good luck Juannie! I hope I can get out there to a summer league game since they are being held in my city. Just keep working hard and playing with a chip on your shoulder and I think you'll be on the roster by the end of the summer league. We will truely miss your leadership and intensity this comming year.
