A Dallas-based business executive, Nate Crain has served as president of Crain Information Systems, Inc., since 1995. Outside of work, Nate Crain enjoys target shooting, reading, and cheering on local sports teams, including the Dallas Mavericks. The Dallas Mavericks solidified their 2017-18 lineup at the center position by signing free agent Nerlens Noel to a one-year deal worth a reported $4.1 million. The Mavericks acquired the 23-year-old center in early 2017 as part of a trade-deadline deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. In exchange for Noel, the Mavericks sent Justin Anderson, Andrew Bogut, and two second-round draft picks to Philadelphia. After arriving in Dallas for the end of the 2016-17 season, the 6-foot-11 Noel averaged 8.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks a game in 22 appearances. Those numbers were just under his career averages of 10 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks a game. Noel entered the NBA in 2013 and has appeared in a total of 193 games.
