NBA Rumors: Mavericks, Devin Harris 'In Strong Talks' on 1-Year Contract

Veteran point guard Devin Harris is reportedly in "strong talks" with the Dallas Mavericks about a one-year contract to embark on his third stint with the organization.

On Wednesday, Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports reported the sides hoped to finalize the deal within a day.

Harris spent the first three-plus seasons of his career with the Mavs after being acquired in a 2004 draft-day trade with the Washington Wizards. He returned to Dallas as a free agent in July 2013 and remained with the team until February, when he was dealt to the Denver Nuggets.

The 35-year-old Wisconsin product has also spent time with the New Jersey Nets, Utah Jazz and Atlanta Hawks during his nomadic career.

In all, Harris has averaged 11.1 points, 4.1 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 917 NBA games, including 446 starts. He earned an All-Star selection with the Nets in 2009.

A return to Dallas would put him in competition with J.J. Barea for reserve minutes at the point behind rising star Dennis Smith Jr. His value would come more as a mentor to Smith and rookie Jalen Brunson than in his on-court production.
