The Mavericks' basketball operation has a reputation of intolerance for bad apples.
Rajon Rondo? He came in, got too selfish to fit in, and was suspended for the playoffs, even though he was the starting point guard.
Lamar Odom? He let an exotic lifestyle erode his passion for the game and was gone before his only season with the team was done.
Shawne Williams? He was a multi-time loser and coach Rick Carlisle famously said if he messed up with the Mavericks, Williams' butt would be grass and Carlisle, owner Mark Cuban and president Donnie Nelson would be the lawnmowers.
