As we all know, the Mavericks have not been able to mount a trophy catch on their free agent wall.
Big fish just don't jump in their boat.
That doesn't mean they don't net keepers, like Harrison Barnes and Wesley Matthews. And this year will give them another great opportunity to do so again, or maybe reel in that elusive free agent whale.
Owner Mark Cuban has pledged to spend the money the Mavericks figure to have -- likely somewhere between $20 million and $35 million, depending on who on their roster they elect to keep around.
