DALLAS -- The day after losing Steve Nash, the Dallas Mavericks secured their new backcourt Friday.

Marquis Daniels, a restricted free agent, agreed to a six-year deal worth roughly $38 million and top draft pick Devin Harris signed a contract for at least $7 million over three years.

The duo could take the court together this weekend.

Harris already has joined the Mavericks' summer league team and Daniels was expected to be added in time for exhibition games against China's national team on Saturday night and Sunday. Harris had 15 points in the first game against China on Thursday night.

Harris is coming off a junior season at Wisconsin in which he was named the Big Ten player of the year. He also broke the school's single-season scoring record, previously held by current Mavs star Michael Finley.

Harris was drafted fifth overall by Washington, then dealt to Dallas with Christian Laettner and Jerry Stackhouse in exchange for Antawn Jamison. Details of his salary, which was limited by the league's rookie scale, were not immediately available; however, last year's scale paid the fifth pick $2.2 million in his first season.

The Mavs acquired Harris to be Nash's backup and eventual replacement. The succession plan was speeded up by Nash's decision Thursday to sign with the Phoenix Suns.
