As I went into the month-long winter EDITORIAL CARTOON break (my last such respite, since I’m a senior and will forever abandon school calendars in May), I had every intention of reading like a maniac. I haven’t read a book for fun since the summer, so I went into the Tippecanoe County Public Library in my Indiana hometown and pulled out 12 books of varying lengths and topics. With four weeks of freedom ahead of me, I thought for sure I’d at least get through seven or eight of them. Eh, not so much. I finished “Resurrection,” about Ara Parseghian’s first season, and “Hungry,” a memoir by the model Crystal Renn, in a flash, but mostly because I was stuck in the Denver airport for 29 hours during Christmas travel with nothing else to do. But once I got back to Indiana, I never did get past the first few pages of the other ten library books.

NBA Mavericks add Peja for offense

DALLAS — Peja Stojakovic used to pile up points against the Dallas Mavericks. Now they’re eager to see what he can do for them. Dallas signed Stojakovic off waivers on Monday in a bid to replace some of the scor- ing punch lost when Caron Butler went down with a sea- son-ending injury. Although Stojakovic has averaged 17.2 points per game over his career, and 19.2 per game against Dallas, the Mavericks realize that’s not the guy they are getting. This is the fourth straight season his average has dropped. He’s also played only eight games because of knee injuries, the last on Nov. 26. Dallas is even his third stop; he started with New Orleans and was dealt to Toronto, then was waived on Thursday. The Mavs don’t even know when the 33-year-old Stojakovic will suit up. “We’re taking it slow,” team president Donnie Nelson said. “Depends on him getting into game shape.” Dallas was off to a tremen- dous start this season until Dirk Nowitzki got hurt, then Butler was lost. Nowitzki is back in the lineup but clearly still not at full strength. The Mavs are in a 4-10 rut head- ing into a four-game homes- tand that opens Tuesday night against the Clippers. Stojakovic did most of his damage against Dallas dur- ing his heyday with the Sacramento Kings. They were frequent playoff foes with the Mavericks. That’s what team owner Mark Cuban had in mind when he tweeted: “Peja is now a Mav ! Time to let him drop some of those 3s on the bad guys” To clear a roster spot, the Mavericks traded fourth- string center Alexis Ajinca to Toronto for the rights to Georgios Printezis, who is playing in Spain. The NBA office approved the deal after investigating whether there was more to Toronto waiving a player Dallas wanted at the same time the clubs made a trade. The league apparently ruled these were separate transac- tions. page 12 The Observer N SPORTS Tuesday, January 25, 2011 MLB Arizona trades for Tigers’ Galarraga
