Things could have been very different for the Mavs

This might be the biggest reason the Mavs are in the finals IMO

Definitely a difference maker for the Mavs.:clap: That ended being a Godsend for the Mavericks that he didn't get traded to the Thunder, or else the Thunder would likely be the ones going to the finals this year instead of the Mavs. Thank you, Dr. Carlan Yates!:cool: Chandler's presence alone has changed the culture in the Mavs locker room. He's the best center the Mavs have had since Roy Tarpley in my opinion. The center position has been the achilles heel of the Mavs for years and years. We finally have a bonafide threat in the middle.
