DALLAS -- The Mavericks have informed representatives of Golden States Harrison Barnes that they intend to sign the restricted free agent to an offer sheet for a four-year, $95 million contract, two people with knowledge of Dallas plans said Saturday.The people spoke to The Associated Press about the potential maximum contract on the condition of anonymity because no deals can be signed before July 7. The Warriors can match any deal for Barnes and are more likely to do so if they dont get an agreement with Kevin Durant.Durant, a four-time scoring champion and 2014 NBA MVP with Oklahoma City, has held meetings with the Thunder, Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, San Antonio and Boston. Hes expected to meet with Miami on Sunday.Barnes was the fourth-leading scorer behind Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green for the 73-win Warriors, who lost to Cleveland in the NBA Finals. The 6-foot-8 forward is a potential replacement for Chandler Parsons, who has agreed to sign with Memphis.The Mavericks plan, first reported by ESPN, comes a day after their top two targets in free agency, Memphis guard Mike Conley and Miami center Hassan Whiteside, decided to stay with their current teams. Parsons, Conley and Whiteside are getting max contracts.Its the fifth straight year that Dallas has missed on its primary plans for free agency since choosing financial flexibility over keeping key pieces of the team that won the franchises only championship in 2011. The Mavericks havent won a playoff series since their title season.Dallas made Conley and Whiteside their priorities over Parsons, who missed all but one playoff game in two seasons with the Mavericks because of injuries to his right knee. The first was more serious, requiring surgery that pushed his rehab into the start of last season.As Parsons was rounding into form with the playoffs drawing near, he sustained another right knee injury that required more surgery but wasnt considered as serious.Barnes isnt as versatile as Parsons but could give the Mavericks another 3-point threat to go with shooting guard Wesley Matthews and star Dirk Nowitzki. The big German opted out of the final year of his three-year contract but is expected to re-sign with Dallas, where the 38-year-old has spent all of his 18 seasons.The addition of Barnes would also meet Dallas goal of trying to get younger and plan for a future without Nowitzki. The 24-year-old Barnes averaged 11.7 points and 4.9 rebounds in his fourth season with the Warriors, shooting 38 percent from 3-point range.But there would be questions about how effective Barnes could be when defenses arent focused on stopping Curry, the two-time MVP, and Thompson, his fellow Splash Brother. They combined to make nearly nine per game from long range, and Curry set an NBA record with 402 made 3s in the regular season.Barnes was the seventh overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft out of North Carolina.Tyler Lydon Jersey .

Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not.PHOENIX -- A day after losing ace Zack Greinke and another home series, the Diamondbacks cannot wait to turn the page.Philadelphia can play the final game of a three-game series in Arizona with the knowledge that it does not have to win the game to win the series.The Phillies won their first series since taking two of three from Miami on May 16-18 by winning the first two games in Arizona, a near-360 from the Diamondbacks four-game sweep at Citizens Bank Park from June 17-20.Greinke won his eighth straight start in the first game of that set. The D-backs can only hope the tight left oblique muscle that caused Greinke to leave after two innings in the Phillies 4-3 victory on Tuesday is nothing serious. There was no indication of the extent of the injury after that game.Something that maybe he can miss a start, possibly not miss a start, possibly at the worst maybe 15 days on the DL, manager Chip Hale said. You never know. But if you go out and really yank it bad, you are talking about a month or two. Well hope for best-case scenario.Greinke is the second D-backs starter to leave in as many games, after left-hander Robbie Ray was removed in the seventh inning of the Phillies 8-0 victory on Monday with a blood blister on his left middle finger. Ray is not expected to miss his next scheduled start Sunday.Arizona right-hander Archie Bradley will oppose right-hander Zach Eflin, the second straight return match from the first series. Bradley had one of his best starts of the season in a 5-1 victory, giving up three hits and one unearned run in six innings. Eflin almost matched him, giving up four hits and two runs in 5 2/3 innings.The D-backs are 13-27 at home, and only Atlanta has fewer victories. Thhey entered the homestand of a 7-3 road trip, but the momentum gained has diffused with the loss of two games and possible Greinke.ddddddddddddThe D-backs have won three of their 12 home series, taking two of three from the Yankees, San Diego and Miami.Greinke, who is 10-3 and has won his last seven decisions, is scheduled to start again Monday, but that seems unlikely. He felt the oblique injury on his first warmup pitch before the third inning, and did not feel much better after a quick trip to the dugout to apply a heating salve. He pinpointed a second-inning sacrifice fly as the probable cause, and said he believed Hale made the right decision in removing him when he did.At the time, I didnt know if it was a good idea or not to do what we did, but afterwards it was probably the right move, Greinke said. I more than likely would have hurt myself more staying in.Arizona closer Brad Ziegler has turned human in the last week after running off a streak of 43 consecutive saves, a franchise record and the seventh longest in major league history. He failed to convert his second save opportunity in his last three tries Tuesday, giving up three hits and two walks when the Phillies scored twice. Ziegler walked Ryan Howard on a 3-2 pitch with the bases loaded to force in the deciding run.When you pitch to contact a lot, occasionally that is going to happen, said Ziegler, who gave up two singles to right field that were just out of second baseman Jean Seguras reach. It sucks that it happens several times in one game. They got enough of the barrel on it do just enough damage. ' ' '
