There probably isn’t any “bad” time to win a title but the title run of 2011 came at a very tricky stretch for the Dallas Mavericks. The Texans no longer have the core group that guided them to the memorable feat with Tyson Chandler, J.J. Barea as well as Jason Kidd sailing off.
Dallas created enough room to go after the big prize of this year’s free agency: Dwight Howard and are the first of three teams that appear on the list that got burnt after failing to get the big man. Dallas aimed for the skies with Howard and had to settle with the inefficient Monta Ellis as their prized free agent capture. The Mavericks may have bolstered their roster with a flurry of free agent signings; most notable of which are Jose Calderon, Samuel Dalembert, Wayne Ellington and the returning Devin Harris.
