Mavericks reportedly interested in bringing back Jason Terry
Free agent guard could return to Dallas where he enjoyed so much success.
It's funny, because Jason Terry didn't start his career as a Maverick. He was an Atlanta Hawk before joining the Mavericks, and since then he's been a Celtic, a Net, a King and a Rocket. Nothing has looked right, except for him in those white-on-dark-blue uniforms. JET in every other uniform looks out of context. It's weirder than Pierce in a Wizards uniform, and that was weird enough.
Terry spent eight years in Dallas, winning a championship in 2011 before departing in free agency in 2012 as Mark Cuban sought to reconfigure the team.
Now, it appears that there's a chance JET could be headed back to where he belongs. From the Dallas Morning News:
Maverick fans, are you ready for a Jason Terry reunion?
Since they got the thumbs-up from free-agent center DeAndre Jordan, which instantly turned their summer into a massive success story, the Mavericks have had conversations with Terry and his camp about returning to Dallas, where he spent half of his 16 NBA seasons and helped win the 2011 championship.
Terry was surprisingly good for the Rockets last season, but just wasn't able to produce, or especially defend, like they needed when Patrick Beverley went down. Terry can give good minutes off the bench, still hit some key shots and make some smart plays. More than anything, though, Terry belongs in Dallas. He's a sure-fire lock to have his jersey retired there, and is still beloved in that town.
A reunion would make sense for both sides with the Mavs strapped for depth after their free-agent splurging.
