Ponder this (realistic) scenario: The Dallas Mavs win 39 games, miss the playoffs, DeAndre Jordan decides his new team is not the best fit and leaves as a free agent, and the Mavs are left with no lottery pick.

Don't plan on this, but these are all plausible scenarios now that DJ has committed to the Mavs.

Of course, since he has not actually signed a contract there is no point in celebrating the arrival of DJ to the Dallas Mavericks.

Fool us once, shame on Mark Cuban.
