It’s pretty obvious that the Dallas Mavericks aren’t the same team they were when they won the championship last year. The loss of Tyson Chandler, J.J. Barea and Caron Butler weakened the team a lot more than the Mavs would like to admit, but the record doesn’t lie.

As is well known, Chandler moved on to the New York Knicks during the offseason when the Mavericks chose not to pursue the franchise altering center for anything near the $58 million...
