James has been waived by the Mavericks, according to the team's official site. After two seasons with Dallas, James was one of the last players cut after the Mavs elected to keep veteran Charlie Villanueva.

James scored two points in six minutes of action Tuesday. He added two rebounds and two blocks in the preseason loss to Houston. James remains near the bottom of the Dallas depth chart but did manage to produce nicely in limited action.

James has signed a one-year deal to return to the Mavericks, the Dallas Morning News reports. James will be the third center on the Dallas depth chart, limiting his overall fantasy value.

Bernard James scored 21 points vs. the Wolves on Saturday with seven boards, three steals and one block on 6-of-9 shooting. The Mavericks just owned the paint in today's game and it was mostly due to Sarge. He had three offensive boards today and the Wolves struggled inside on the other end. James is still off the radar in fantasy leagues.

Bernard James will play for the Mavericks' Summer League team as an unrestricted free agent. The Mavs declined to give James a $1.1 million qualifying offer, and the 29-year-old realizes that he may have to seek a contract with another team. "If they bring DeJuan [Blair] back, I'd be the fourth center again and I'd probably need to go somewhere else," James said. "If I can be the third center and get 10 or 15 minutes a game, then that would be a step forward. I'm not getting any younger. In fact, I'm already old." No matter which team picks him up, James won't factor into the equation for fantasy owners.

Bernard James is available to play against the Spurs on Wednesday night. He's the last resort for the Mavericks with DeJuan Blair out due to a suspension. If Samuel Dalembert and Brandan Wright don't get into foul trouble or get hurt, chances are we won't be seeing James tonight.

Bernard James started at center for the second half of Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. Coach Rick Carlisle was looking to shake things up for the slumping Mavericks and went with the seldom-used James to start the second half. "I should have subbed all the guys out of the game that were in there that gave up 12 points in 3« minutes or whatever it was," Carlisle said. "And not doing that was a major mistake." James registered four rebounds and missed the only shot he took in 10 minutes of action Wednesday night, so there is nothing to see here fantasy-wise.

Mavericks sign C Bernard James. James will get $789K in the one-year deal. The Mavericks had to waive Sarge and since no team claimed him, they were able to bring him back. He'll be the third center behind Brandan Wright and Samuel Dalembert and doesn't project to be in the rotation to start the year.

Bernard James said that he's going to be back with the Mavs for another year. The Mavs waived him on Friday and no team picked him up, despite a salary of just $789. James had some ups and downs last year, but his roster spot isn't completely safe. Jack Carmichael had a big week in Vegas and the two might be fighting over one spot.

Bernard James, whom the Mavericks have interest in re-signing, officially cleared waivers on Sunday. It's a mild surprise that no team scooped up James and his $789k salary for this season. The second-year forward played limited minutes in 46 appearances last season, but his per-36-minute splits are encouraging -- 10.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 3.0 blocks. There's a good chance that he'll re-sign with Dallas.
