Mavericks

With his Dallas Mavericks eliminated from playoff contention , Mark Cuban is ready for the offseason to get here. So that his team can get a new point guard. As the always-candid NBA owner said, per Mavs.com’s Earl K. Sneed: [tweet https://twitter.com/EarlKSneed/status/849438777244356608] [tweet https://twitter.com/EarlKSneed/status/849438514479591425] The Mavericks already have some interesting names to monitor at point guard.

Well for all of you that were mentally and emotionally preparing yourself for the final month and a half of getting to watch the greatest European basketball player in NBA history lumber around a court with his beautiful golden locks and hit off-balance, one-legged jumpers at will, you can exhale, it appears as though Dirk [...]

Well the year long saga of whether the Philadelphia 76ers would trade Jahlil Okafor or Nerlens Noel has finally come to an end. Adrian Wojnarowski reported Thursday that the 76ers agreed to trade Noel to the Mavericks for Andrew Bogut, a 1st round pick that is top 18 protected in 2017 and Justin Anderson. [tweet [...]

Dallas Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle either has a really high opinion of Jae Crowder, his former player, or he’s absolutely sold on the Boston Celtics. Okay, it’s both. As Carlisle said after the Mavericks’ Monday night loss to the Celtics, per SB Nation’s Tim Cato: [tweet https://twitter.com/tim_cato/status/831353348590862341?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] These words are flattering when you realize [...]

The Dallas Mavericks will remain hobbled. Andrew Bogut hasn’t played since Jan. 29 with a right hamstring injury, while Deron Williams hasn’t taken the court since Jan. 25 as he tends to a left big toe sprain. It doesn’t sound like either of them will play before the NBA’s All-Star break, per the Star-Telegram‘s Dwain Price: [...]

Like you needed more evidence Dallas Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle is simply the best. On the heels of the Mavericks’ Monday night win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, which came one night after they beat the San Antonio Spurs, Carlisle had this to say of his suddenly plucky group, per SB Nation’s Tim Cato: [tweet [...]

Wesley Matthews’ name has been lightly bandied about the NBA’s trade rumor mill, but suitors for the three-and-D wing shouldn’t hold their breath for the Dallas Mavericks to deal him. Not according to Mavericks owner Mark Cuban at least, per ESPN.com’s Tim MacMahon: [tweet https://twitter.com/espn_macmahon/status/823255735366778882] [tweet https://twitter.com/espn_macmahon/status/823263549657124867] This isn’t too surprising a stance from the [...]

You never want to hear about an Achilles injury with an NBA player, but you most definitely don’t want to hear it with regards to a 38-year-old Dirk Nowitzki who has clearly had trouble moving on defense over the last few years. And yet, here we are. Nowitzki hasn’t played since November 25th while dealing [...]

After having a bit of a renaissance season in 2015-16 and leading an undermanned Mavericks team to the playoffs once again, the 2016-17 season has not been too kind to 39-year-old Dirk Nowitzki or the 6-18 Dallas Mavericks. Dirk is dealing with a nagging and debilitating Achilles injury that has caused him to miss 19 [...]

Say what you will about the Dallas Mavericks and owner Mark Cuban, but they have foresight. DeMarcus Cousins, the NBA’s best center when locked in, will be a free agent in 2018. That seems like a lifetime away, and many expect the Sacramento Kings to trade him before then. The Mavericks won’t have the assets [...]
