Mavericks owner Mark Cuban hopes that re-signing Jason Kidd draws more free agents to Dallas.

"We are excited to have Jason Kidd back in a Mavs' uniform," Cuban told the Dallas Morning News. "He was a major contributor for us last year, and we expect more of the same next year.

"We also are excited to have him tutor [point guards] Roddy Beaubois and J.J. Barea. This is hopefully the first of several deals to come in the next couple weeks."

The Mavericks reportedly reached an agreement with center Marcin Gortat last week, but his restricted free agent status means that the Magic can match any offer he receives.
