Mavericks cut Samuel Dalembert, others to finalize roster

The Dallas Mavericks have cut Samuel Dalembert as they trim the roster to 15 players, according to Yahoo! Sports' Shams Charania. Dalembert cuts leaves three centers on the roster: Zaza Pachulia, JaVale McGee and Salah Mejri, who had an impressive preseason to beat out Dalembert.

Since McGee is injured, Mejri will immediately have a role to begin this season. Although he's 29 and certainly lacks the potential of a younger player, he's proven that he can still be physical with his thin frame and looked solid as a rebounder.
