 --The Mavs need interior help and were working on moving high into the second round to try to select Pittsburgh's DeJuan Blair, but they were unable to swing a deal. Dallas instead watched Blair go with the 37th pick to the Spurs, who also need interior muscle after shipping Kurt Thomas and Fabricio Oberto to Milwaukee for Richard Jefferson. --The Mavs will now be able to scout prospects practically in their own backyard. Donnie Nelson, the Mavs' president of basketball operations, became the majority owner in the NBDL team that will move from Colorado to Frisco, a North Dallas suburb. Of course, the Mavs had a team in their backyard a few years ago, too, when the NBDL moved to Fort Worth and then moved out because of poor attendance. QUOTE TO NOTE: "I know it's a big challenge because I know there are very good point guards in the Western Conference. But I will play as hard as I can." -- Mavs first-round draft pick Rodrigue Beaubois, on a conference call from New York.
