The Dallas Mavericks had plenty of options in free agency. While they were much quieter than usual, the Mavs did make one small move, bringing in center, Jeff Withey, from the Utah Jazz on a one year deal.

The move initially was underwhelming and uninspiring for spoiled Mavs fans used to the big-name pursuits, but the move was a savvy get for a team beginning its rebuild. For one thing, there were many young, developmental players available to the Mavericks who could have been an interesting addition to the team.

Shabazz Muhammad, Trey Burke, JaMychal Green, and Justin Holiday all could have helped the Mavericks accelerate their rebuild.
