The Dallas Mavericks apparently don’t have any interest in trying to sign DeAndre Jordan this summer if he opts out of the final year of his contract with the Los Angeles Clippers. I wonder why. From the Dallas Morning News‘ Eddie Sefko: What do you make of this DeAndre Jordan chatter? Would the Mavs seriously be [...]

Dallas Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle wants you to know he has no interest in becoming the next head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks. Speaking on 105.7FM The Fan earlier this week, the Racine Journal Times‘ Gery Woelfel loosely linked Carlisle to Milwaukee’s ongoing search for a Jason Kidd/Joe Prunty successor: [tweet https://twitter.com/1057FMTheFan/status/993846460528709632] This report was [...]

The free agency climate is much different than it was two or three years ago. A player of Wes Matthews caliber (coming off of a torn Achilles no less), which is a fifth starter or bench wing player, would never sign a four-year, $70 million contract in 2018. This is exactly the reason that Matthews [...]

The NBA is probably the most popular of the major professional sports leagues worldwide. The growing love for basketball around the world and the gluttony of marketable superstars make the league an attraction in many areas of the globe. The NBA honors this by playing a few preseason and even regular season games in other [...]

Dirk Nowitzki has had a record-breaking NBA career as one of the greatest scorers and power forwards in league history and the best player to ever come from Europe. He is apparently planning on making some more history. Dirk is planning to return for his 21st season with the Mavericks in 2018-19, which will set [...]

Dirk Nowitzki and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban do not see eye to eye on the subject of tanking. To be fair, Cuban has never been an open proponent of bottoming out either. That is, until this season. His Mavericks are contending for one of the three worst records in the NBA, and he told [...]

Dirk Nowitzki is perturbed by Sports Illustrated‘s look into the Dallas Mavericks’ toxic workplace culture. While the report specifically included a former senior employee applauding the environment within the locker room and around the players, the business side of the organization appears to have been fraught with misogyny and harassment for decades, dating back to before [...]

Aaron Gordon is a freakishly athletic modern power forward in the NBA who has developed himself to one of the more exciting talents in the NBA under the age of 25 (he is 22). He is set to enter restricted free agency this summer and should be able to be one of the few players [...]

In light of an explosive report from Sports Illustrated‘s Jessica Luther and Jon Wertheim, the NBA announced on Tuesday night it would “closely monitor” investigations into the Dallas Mavericks’ workplace culture. Here’s the league’s official statement, per Yahoo Sports’ Dan Devine: [tweet https://twitter.com/YourManDevine/status/966175188932055040?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbleacherreport.com%2Farticles%2F2760623-nba-will-monitor-investigation-into-mavericks-hostile-workplace-allegations] The SI piece in question deserves your time. Luther and Wertheim spoke with [...]

It doesn’t look like Nerlens Noel is nearing the end of his brief tenure with the Dallas Mavericks. To be sure, the 23-year-old center can leave over the summer, when he enters unrestricted free agency. But he probably isn’t bolting before then. The Mavericks failed to trade him in advance of the NBA’s Thursday deadline, [...]
