Drew Gooden announced that he has agreed to a deal with the Dallas Mavericks on his Twitter feed just after midnight Saturday, writing, "Dallas here I come!!!"

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban tweeted in response: "Welcome Drew."

ESPN.com, quoting unidentified sources, reported that Gooden will receive a one-year contract worth a guaranteed $4.5 million with incentives that can exceed $5 million. The Mavericks have money to spend because of the midlevel exception void left by Brandon Bass' departure.
