With the Dallas Mavericks set once again to potentially be a big player in free agency, it makes sense that they would look to sign a young frontcourt partner to pair with Dirk Nowitzki.

With Los Angeles Clippers center and Texas native DeAndre Jordan entering unrestricted free agency, one would assume the Mavericks would be plenty interested.

Here's more on that from Tim MacMahon at ESPN.com:

"The Mavs hope they can land Jordan, who will command a max contract, is fueled by a few factors. He’s long been intrigued by the possibility of leaving the Los Angeles Clippers, where he’ll always be considered the third wheel behind Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, and has acknowledged his intention to explore his options. The Houston native and Texas A&M alum is also said to be interested in returning to his home state. And he’s good friends with Chandler Parsons, who is also represented by agent Dan Fegan and will serve as the Mavs’ unofficial lead recruiter."
