Tuesday marked Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle’s first public comments since the franchise failed to land Deron Williams in free agency and lost Jason Kidd and Jason Terry.

Carlisle was asked about former Maverick Tyson Chandler’s recent comments, in which he said he felt sorry for Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks’ coaching staff.

“I love Tyson,” Carlisle said. “Look, he’s a guy that genuinely has a sincere care for everyone he’s worked with, in virtually every organization he’s been with.

“Look, there’s no reason to feel sorry for us. Dynamic change is one of the things that you sign up for when you get into this league. The thing we have to do is continue to be resourceful, understand that this is still a very long summer and that there are a lot of other possibilities that can happen if we keep working at it.”
