The team has a solid track record of taking players and turning around their reputation in the NBA.
After signing Wes Matthews and DeAndre Jordan, the Mavericks will have an intriguing core. But the team won't have much money to spend to fill out the backend of its roster.
Dallas needs to fill as many as five roster slots with minimum salaried players, the kind of deals frequently agreed to by NBA veterans on their last legs hoping for one more good playoff run. Rather than invest in a bunch of older one-way veterans like Amar'e Stoudemire to fill out its roster, the Mavericks front office should look to continue its run of successful reclamation projects this summer.
