The Mavs didn't have any sort of bury-the-hatchet talk with DeAndre Jordan before bringing him to Dallas a few years after he left them at the free agency altar. "There was no need," Rick Carlisle told ESPN. "There just wasn't. Sometimes things take a while to happen. Sometimes you have obstacles, you work through them and figure it out. That's what we did." In doing so, the Mavs added an impactful rim presence at both ends of the floor, providing a lob threat for young franchise cornerstones Dennis Smith Jr. and Luka Doncic. "He's a good fit for any team that's trying to get better," Carlisle said of Jordan.
