There are many legends of the game who passed through Dallas at the tail end of their careers
were notorious for chasing big names in free agency in the 2000s and 2010s, even if those players were well past their primes. Inand Devin Harris started their careers in Dallas before making All-Star games elsewhere, but this is about the players who made a name for themselves elsewhere but had brief stints in Dallas in honor ofAlex English looks to fire a shot.
Slightly cheating here as Bogut was never an All-Star, but he did make Third Team All-NBA in 2010, which is arguably more impressive. Thedumped Bogut to the Mavericks to open cap space to sign Kevin Durant in the 2016 offseason, a move that would win them two championships. Bogut only played 26 games in Dallas, averaging 3.0 PPG and 8.4 RPG before being traded to the 76ers as part of the deal for Nerlens Noel.
Another member of that odd 2012-13 roster, Elton Brand was a walking 20 and 10 from the moment he entered the NBA, making two All-Star games for the Clippers in 2002 and 2006. The Mavs spun the tires on Brand and he responded by averaging 7.2 PPG and 6.0 RPG in 72 games. Some other fun names on that roster include O.J. Mayo, Darren Collison, Eddy Curry, Derek Fisher, Troy Murphy, and Chris Douglas-Roberts.
Jameer Nelson was a key component of the 2009 Orlando Magic that went to the NBA Finals and made the All-Star game that season. He signed with Dallas in the 2014 offseason, leading the Mavs to one of the best offenses in the league, but was sent to Boston after just 23 games in thetrade. Safe to say that didn't work out for either side, as Rondo's tenure in Dallas was a disaster and Nelson bounced around the league for the last few years of his career.
