Dwain Price of the Star Telegram reports that the Dallas Mavericks have wrapped up one of their free agents, and are in discussions with the other. Eduardo Najera re-signed with the Mavericks yesterday to an undisclosed contract while the team continues to negotiate with Wang Zhi Zhi.

Re-signing Najera was important to the Mavericks who are trying to increase their defensive intensity this season. Najera was one of the team's defensive stalwarts the past two seasons and has become a fan favorite because of his gritty style of play.

"Eddie, in a lot of ways, is everything we're looking for in players," Mavericks' president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said. "He has great heart; he's a total team guy. The intensity that he brings on the floor is second to none, and we're really pleased and proud to have him back in the fold."

'I'm ready to start working," Najera said. "I think that we have a great team and I'm really happy with my teammates, so this is great news for me."

Meanwhile, the Mavericks are in contract negotiations with Wang's agent, Jeff Schwartz, and are exploring all options, including trading him, said Nelson. It appears as though the Mavericks are close to finishing their training camp roster after adding guards Raja Bell and Adam Harrington along with center Kip Christianson and forward Derek Hood. All were signed to minimum salary contracts and will be in camp when it opens Monday.
