Harris wasn’t a part of the 2010-11 Championship team but his return to the team continues a theme Dallas has been living by this summer in which they watch out for players they’ve grow to respect over the years.
Not only is Dirk back, but so too is Tyson Chandler and the return of players like that is something that Mavs fans are getting stoked about as the new season gets closer and closer.
