The Dallas Mavericks are exploring sign-and-trade possibilities with the Los Angeles Lakers to acquire free-agent point guard Jeremy Lin, according to league sources.
Lin, 26, sees the Mavericks as the best opportunity to reignite his career, especially with a chance to become the starting point guard.
Lin could join a free agent class that already includes center DeAndre Jordan and guard Wes Matthews. The Mavericks have exhausted most of their salary-cap space to sign those players.
