Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks are signing Kemba Walker in free agency, and sure enough, hopes are high that he’ll provide the team with a much-needed scoring punch beyond Luka Doncic.

The Dallas Mavericks haven’t been at their best to begin the 2022-23 campaign, as they have scuffled to a 9-10 start after losing four straight games. Dallas has, for better or for worse, merely been the Luka Doncic show, as the Mavs have placed an unenviably heavy burden on their superstar’s shoulders. While Doncic has […]

If one thing is clear about the Dallas Mavericks roster, it’s that it is far too dependent on Luka Doncic.

One of the biggest criticisms of Luka Doncic’s game is his isolation-heavy playstyle. Much like LeBron James’ teams before, the Dallas Mavericks run their offense mostly through the star. That often leads to Doncic hoisting up step-back threes or finding his open teammates off of pick-and-roll actions. For some, though, this style of play is […]

Christian Wood was the biggest acquisition of the Dallas Mavericks in the off-season. The former Rockets center was supposed to be the second-in-command to Luka Doncic. 20 games into the season, though, and it seems as if Jason Kidd is more interested in seeing Wood ride the pine instead of playing when it matters. That […]

Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine voiced his frustrations after being benched by head coach Billy Donovan late in the fourth quarter during a recent loss to the Orlando Magic.

Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks were the victims of an absurd rule that favored the Denver Nuggets on Sunday, and clearly, the Slovenian star thinks it was a mistake.
