In the NBA league, a franchise must keep 12 players on their roster, in the case of Dallas Mavericks, 13 players. Usually 6 guards, 5 forward and 2 center. These numbers can change team by team, but this is the usual division by role. Every team in NBA has a salary cap, so the franchise has to pay attention to the total amount money the team want to invest in the players contracts. Every team has to play 82 regular-season games trying to get one of the first 8 position to get to the playoffs. Dallas plays in the south west in the Western conference. http://www.nba.com/mavericks/roster/
Rick Carlisle became the ninth coach in franchise history on May 9, 2008. In six seasons as a head coach, Carlisle has a career regular season record of 281-211 (.571) and has led his team to the postseason on five occasions. A great coach for a great team that only one time has almost won the title, against Miami in 2005/2006, loosing 4 games in a row in an unbelievable finals ended 4-2 for the Florida franchise. http://www.nba.com/history/finals/champions.html

Best All-Time Combination
The best players have ever played together in the Dallas Mavericks are still playing in 2010. Who are they? Obviously Dirk Nowitsky from Germany (probably the best European player all time) and the great play maker Jason Kidd, 11 and 15 season in NBA. The German has 23 points average in his career in NBA and was the first European player to win the award of MVP in the season 2006/2007. http://www.nba.com/history/awards_mvp.html Jason Kidd in over 15 years of NBA has 13 points and 9 assists average. One of the best play makers in the resent history of this amazing game. http://www.nba.com/playerfile/jason_kidd/index.html?nav=page It's unusual to see 2 white players so amazing on an NBA field, but this is a real case of white power, these two guys are made to play together.
