The planned signing of point guard Jameer Nelson is not a sign that the Mavs
will try to push Raymond Felton out the door.

That comes straight from owner Mark Cuban, who offered an emphatic “no”
 when asked whether the Mavs would look to move Felton, who was acquired
along with center Tyson Chandler in last month’s six-player trade with the
New York Knicks.





“We like him and think he will have a great year,” Cuban told
ESPNDallas.com via the Cyber Dust messaging app. “Do quote me on that.”

The Mavs envision Nelson, Felton and Devin Harris all getting significant
playing time at point guard and some minutes at shooting guard behind Monta
Ellis, as well.




Nobody, least of all Felton, denies that the nine-year veteran point guard is
coming off a dreadful season in New York. Felton averaged a career-low 9.7
points and a near-career-low 5.6 assists for a disappointing Knicks team that
failed to make the playoffs in the weak Eastern Conference.

Felton, who has averaged 13.1 points and 6.5 assists during his career, dealt
with injury issues (a groin strain) and off-court problems (a divorce and
arrest on gun charges) last season. He’s healthy now and hungry to prove
himself again.





“Just to show everybody that I’ve still got it, I still can play,” Felton
said on a recent conference call with Dallas reporters. “I still can play
the game at this level. I still play as an elite point guard at this level.
That’s just all.

“When you come off a season like I had last year, there’s always a point
where you’ve got to prove yourself coming back the next season. And trust
me, I look forward to it.”

So do the Mavs, Cuban insists.
