Using the new Instagram feature, Dallas Mavericks wunderkind Luka Doncic was asked who he thinks is the best European NBA player.

The Summer League was originally conceived to be a scrimmage featuring this year’s draft picks (since we’re itching to see them strut their wares) and the crop of NBA hopefuls that either didn’t get picked or are slumming around year after year for an opportunity in the form of a 10-day or two-way deal. Rarely […]

The Dallas Mavericks are about to have a bit of a change the next few seasons. Once Dirk Nowitzki retires it’s going to change from Nowtizki’s team to one of the other young guy’s teams like Dennis Smith Jr. or Luka Doncic. There has been a lot of talk of maybe Doncic being that guy, […]

One of the most highly touted rookies in the 2018 NBA Draft class has got to be Luka Dončić of the Dallas Mavericks.

In terms of sheer craziness, 2015’s DeAndre Jordan-Dallas Mavericks debacle is surely up there, if not the clear-cut example of the unpredictability and insanity of NBA free agency. After agreeing to terms on a four year, $80 million deal at the start of free agency, the 6-foot-11 athletic center quickly went dark only to resurface […]

After the Dallas Mavericks secured a verbal commitment from DeAndre Jordan back in the summer of 2015, owner Mark Cuban couldn’t help but gush about their free-agent coup.

While DeAndre Jordan has reportedly reached a verbal agreement to sign with the Dallas Mavericks over the last weekend, we all know better (most especially Mavs fans, who remember the events of July 2015 all too well) and that we should probably take this announcement with a grain of salt.

The Dallas Mavericks are hoping to bring back point guard Yogi Ferrell, according to Mike Fisher of CBS 247 Sports.

DeAndre Jordan is not going to forget his time with the L.A. Clippers.

There have been some rumblings around the status of Kyrie Irving that have Boston Celtics fans worried.

The Dallas Mavericks are bound to use the remaining $5 million left in their salary cap space to re-sign legend Dirk Nowitzki, but they are also reportedly evaluating “how” they would do so, according to Mike Fisher of 247 Sports.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle once famously (and definitely controversially) compared Doug McDermott to Indiana Pacers legend Reggie Miller, but as of midnight, he probably has a shot at being a Pacers favorite in his own right – just maybe not as huge as the “Uncle Drew” star. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the […]

Before DeAndre Jordan decided to decline his option to play one more year for the L.A. Clippers, one of the ways explored by the Dallas Mavericks in order to acquire the big man was via a trade.
