A Bit of Dallas Mavericks History: In 1979 millionaire Donald J. Carter and Mavericks founding President/GM Norm Sonju set the wheels in motion to secure an NBA team. At the 1980 NBA All-Star Game league owners voted to admit the Texas franchise. For a $12 million entry fee, Dallas was in for the 1980-81 season. The Mavericks would play in the NBA's Midwest Division. In the expansion draft the Mavericks bypassed experienced stars such as Earl Monroe, Rick Barry, Doug Collins, Pete Maravich, and Spencer Haywood. Instead the franchise went with youth-18 of the 22 players chosen by Dallas had less than three years of NBA experience. Although there was some talent-11 of the expansion picks were former first-round draft choices-it was a typical expansion crew. Among the recognizable names were Jim Spanarkel from the Philadelphia 76ers, Austin Carr from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Bingo Smith from the San Diego Clippers, and Richard Washington from the Milwaukee Bucks.
