Failing to land a big name free agent this summer has the Dallas Mavericks sliding in ESPN.com's annual franchise rankings.
The Dallas Mavericks check in at No. 22 in ESPN.com's annual franchise rankings. The list is comprised from all major sports and saw the Mavericks slide 13 spots from last year's ranking. The primary reason for their fall was their failure to execute during free agency this past summer. DeAndre Jordan's sudden reversal certainly didn't help.
Dallas dropped significantly in two categories: players (from 14th to 49th) and ownership (13th to 41st).
