The Dallas Mavericks appear to be in a bind as of late, despite Luka Doncic’s MVP-caliber play. Christian Wood, acquired by the Mavs this past offseason to give Doncic a reliable co-star, has missed the Mavs’ past six games due to a fractured thumb, which further complicates the Mavs’ plans leading up to the NBA […]

The Dallas Mavericks are an interesting case study on how to properly (or improperly) build around a generational talent like Luka Doncic. Doncic, much like LeBron James in the early 2000s, became too good, too soon (not a bad thing, mind you) that their teams (the Mavs and the 2000s Cleveland Cavaliers) were unable to […]

According to reports, the Dallas Mavericks are willing to trade anyone on their roster not named Luka Doncic in exchange for a star.

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith is said to be being targeted by the Utah Jazz ahead of the NBA trade deadline, though, extricating him from the Mavs is going to be easier said than done due to his team’s high asking price in return for the 29-year-old wing (h/t Shams Charania of The Athletic). “The […]

The Dallas Mavericks’ acquisition of Christian Wood was starting to really pay off when he finally moved to the starting lineup in mid-December.

Chris Paul is one of the best point guards to ever suit up in the history of basketball. There’s a reason many call him the Point God, as he’s able to dictate the tempo and flow of the game with his elite court vision and leadership on the court. However, there’s also a reason why […]

You know that there’s always a bit of animosity whenever the Phoenix Suns battle the Dallas Mavericks.

Nothing has been easy for the Dallas Mavericks in the 2022-23 season.
