The more things seem to change, the more some things stay the same. The Dallas Mavericks media day was again filled with more than a few new faces for the fourth straight year since winning the championship in 2011, but it was the return of familiar face that seem to light up the room. Returning to Dallas is the seven-foot Tyson Chandler, whom many say was the critical roster addition that won the franchise's first NBA title.

Mike Brown has an impressive win percentage of .653 in his seven year head coaching career in the NBA. His 314-167 record is due to his 5 years coaching the Cleveland Cavaliers, more importantly, coaching LeBron James. He is a familiar face for Cavs fans and is good with Dan Gilbert, so I can see why bring him back, but the circumstances around his release from the Cavs and Lakers should raise concern for Cavs Fans.
