The Dallas Mavericks and free agent center Chris Kaman have agreed to a one year contract, according to sources.

Kaman took to the Twitterverse to announce the agreement.

"Partnering up with @swish41 and heading to the Mavs........," Kaman tweeted. " I want to say thanks to the Hornet fans for all the support, even though our marriage was a short one!!!

Kaman and the Mavericks have agreed to one year, $8 million deal.

Kaman will play with his German national teammate and good friend Dirk Nowitzki.

The Mavericks needed to make some sort of splash after losing Jason Terry to the Boston Celtics and its failed attempt to drive Deron Williams out of Brooklyn.
