Dallas Dreams 2.0: A DDPB Dynasty

The Mavericks had always been an afterthought in the competitive Western conference. They could put together a winning season or two, but then something would always happen to break up the momentum, whether it was injury, coaching change or ownership change.

Their prospects looked promising for the 1995-1996 season until their owner sold the franchise to billionaire Mike English. He was by all accounts a breath of fresh air to the city of Dallas, and his first move he made was to hire his old college roommate, me, to be the general manager. I'd had several successful coaching stops in the college ranks and had been an assistant on several championship teams in the NBA as well. Mike gave me total control over the coaching staff and roster.

The roster had several promising young players in Jason Kidd, Jamal Mashburn and Jim Jackson. There was no questioning of their talent as individual players, but they didn't exactly fit with what I had in mind. I knew that I could get pretty good value for them, and although Mike had given me total control, I still felt compelled to give him a call and explain what I was thinking.

I told him that I was pretty confident I could move those three guys and get comparable talent in return as well as more depth on our bench. His only comment was, "If this doesn't work, these fans might go Oswald on you." I nodded. I knew that the safe move was to keep our big three intact and hope to add pieces through the draft and free agency to go with them. But we were perilously thin across the board, and one major injury to any of the 3 J's would end our season.

And so, the day after the press conference announcing my hiring, we held another one to announce the moves we had made. Our first trade involved us sending SG Jim Jackson and C Lorenzo Williams to Utah for their backup PG Howard Eisley, PF Antoine Carr and their 1996 2nd round pick. The press were stunned momentarily, although if they had known what else was coming, this would have seemed like a mosquito bite to them. Jackson still had 3 years and 11.7 million due him, and that was more than I really thought he was worth. Eisley had shown flashes of brilliance in limited duty behind Stockton and was the tough, gritty player that I wanted.

Local beat writer Randy Callobay asked, "Why did you trade a starter for a backup to Kidd?" The shock the press felt just a few minutes ago was about to be trumped.

"Well, that's a good question," I replied. "We've also reached a deal with the Denver Nuggets to trade Jason Kidd for SG Jalen Rose, PF Don Maclean, SF LaPhonso Ellis and their 1996 first round draft picks."

Their was silence in the room. So I continued quickly, "We've also made a four team trade with Washington, Miami and Orlando:

Washington receives:
SF Jamal Mashburn (DAL)
PF Popeye Jones (DAL)
PF Cherokee Parks (DAL)

Miami receives:
PF Juwan Howard (WAS)
SG Tony Dumas (DAL)

Orlando receives:
SG Sasha Danilovic

Dallas receives:
C Alonzo Mourning (MIA)
PG/SG/SF Brian Shaw (ORL)
1996, 1997, 1998 2nd round picks from MIA

Then, we packaged SG Lucious Harris, C Donald Hodge, PF Antoine Carr, PG Scott Brooks and Utah's 2nd round pick for Elden Campbell

"Any questions?" I asked.

"So, do you need a prescription for whatever you're on?" Randy asked.

I chuckled. "Nope."

"Haven't you pretty much cut Dick Motta's legs out beneath him with these moves. Hell, he's been planning on having these guys and now here it is barely a month before the season starts and before you even get your nameplate on your office, you've wrecked the team?" Randy countered.

"If you talk to Coach Motta, I think he'll understand the reasoning of each move we've made and how we think it's going to make us better going forward. I'm sure he's confident in his ability to coach this team."

The press conference broke up after a few followup questions concerning the details of the trades. I left the room, knowing this day's work would either make me or break me.

We need two players to fill out our 12 man roster, so we sign C Tristan Karsh and SG Derek Runyan, neither of who will be back with us next year.

We finish the second month of the season at 13-15. George McCloud broke his arm in Game 21 and will be out for another 45 days, then Alonzo Mourning tore his ACL in Game 27 and will be out for 319 days. I wish now that I hadn't promised to make the playoffs this season. We fell to 12th offensively, averaging 94.1 ppg and rose to 19th defensively with 96.4 ppg allowed. Both rankings will probably plummet in the coming months.

We'll have the 6th and 12th picks in next years draft. Rasheed Wallace is our only award winner as he makes All Rookie 1st Team. And I fire Dick Motta and take over as coach/gm.

We're 45-28 at the end of March with 9 games to go. We've now moved into a tie for 1st in offense with 102.3 ppg and are 18th in defense with 98.0 ppg.

Our rebounding continues to be a disappointment to me. I'm really hoping that Rasheed will continue to develop in that area. Davis is outrebounding him despite playing 10 minutes less than he does.

D-League
Roy Rogers 16.1 ppg, 11.6 rpg, 51.9% fg
Vitaly Potapenko 14.4 ppg, 13.2 rpg, 41.6 % fg

At least our two developmental big men seem to be developing into decent rebounders. They'll stay in the D-Leagues one more week, then we'll recall them so they'll be eligible to play in the postseason if needed.

We finish the season 51-31 and make the playoffs as the 5th seed. We finish the season as the top ranked offense at 102.6 ppg, and 21st defensively with 98.0 ppg. We draw Phoenix in the first round who finished 2nd offensively with 101.5 ppg and 13th defensively with 95.4 ppg. We'd have a chance with Darvin Ham, without him I'm not too confident.

Game 1 @ Phoenix

Rik Smits scores 16 points and we get 13 points apiece from Jalen Rose and Elden Campbell off the bench. Phoenix has 6 players score at least 14 points, and they roll to an easy win, 136-82.

Game 2: @ Phoenix

We play much better as a team after that embarassing loss. Howard Eisley scores 17 off the bench to go with 3 other bench players hitting double digits. Phoenix gets 32 from Kevin Johnson and 23 from Michael Finley and they hold on to home court advantage with a 120-113 win.

Game 3: Phoenix

Jalen Rose scores 28 off the bench and Rik Smits scores 22. Rasheed Wallace adds 17 points and 10 rebounds. Wayman Tisdale scores 22 off the bench to lead the Suns, Dennis Scott adds 20 and Kevin Johnson gets loose for 19 and they grab a 105-102 victory to put us on the brink of elimination.

Game 4: Phoenix

Ray Allen scores 23, Rasheed Wallace gets 21, Jalen Rose scores 20 and Derek Fisher gets 18. The Suns match us with 24 from Kevin Johnson, 19 from Dennis Scott and 16 each from Wayman Tisdale and Danny Manning. We avoid the sweep and grab a 116-110 win to head back to the desert for game 5.

Game 5: @ Phoenix

Jalen Rose and Rasheed Wallace each score 21 and Ray Allen contributes 17, but Phoenix is just better than us without our leading scorer. Dennis Scott leads them with 22 and they have 4 players who each add 15 points and they send us fishing, 102-89.

He's gotta be the most overrated draft prospect based on how his real pro career panned out.
