One of the biggest storylines for the Dallas Mavericks this season is the pending Christian Wood free agency. Wood has become one of the more productive centers in the NBA, but it hasn’t always been clear if he has a future with the Mavs. His role often fluctuated under Jason Kidd and he was relegated […]

There’s absolutely no denying that Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic is one of the most gifted offensive players we’ve ever seen pick up a basketball. More than a few folks out there, however, will attest to the fact that the Mavs point guard can be considered a bit of a liability on the defensive end. […]

To say that the Dallas Mavericks‘ Kyrie Irving experiment did not pan out this past season would be an understatement.

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic has been the center of debate all weekend, as NBA fans and analysts have spent the last few days wondering whether or not Dallas’ underwhelming performance during the 2022-23 season is enough for the perennial All-Star to request a trade from the franchise. Those that want Doncic to request a […]

Kyrie Irving made headlines on Sunday after he refused to speak with the media following their final regular season game on Sunday.

A big reason […]

Kyrie Irving is set to hit free agency for the Dallas Mavericks this offseason after a disappointing stint following the trade deadline.

That’s it,” Luka Doncic said, according to MacMahon. The Mavericks end the season with a 38-44 record, and […]

Mavs head coach Jason Kidd didn’t have much to say about the NBA’s ongoing investigation into his team.

The Dallas Mavericks have essentially bowed out of the 2023 NBA Playoff race, so it’s time to look ahead towards the offseason and how the team must improve moving forward. The biggest question for the Mavs moving forward is whether or not they’ll re-sign All-Star guard Kyrie Irving, who played well individually but who acquisition […]

Well, the Dallas Mavericks have completely flubbed this season. After a solid start to the year, the team inexplicably collapsed towards the end of 2022-23. They went from potential dark horse contenders to lottery selectors in a span of a few weeks. Now, their long-term championship window could be rapidly closing. Ahead of the offseason, […]

The Dallas Mavericks received some serious criticisms from both NBA fans and personnel alike recently, as the club seemingly decided to wave the proverbial white flag and purposefully lose their recent matchup against the Chicago Bulls.

The Dallas Mavericks acquired superstar Kyrie Irving before the 2022 NBA trade deadline.

Resting players isn’t a revolutionary concept in the NBA. Teams who are out of playoff contention tend to sit their starts towards the latter portion of a regular season.

Although the narrative surrounding the Kyrie Irving-Dallas Mavericks situation seems to be that the point guard will leave the team, head coach Jason Kidd isn’t ruling out a reunion. “If I was a betting man, I guess I would say he would be back,” Kidd said. “Why would I say he wouldn’t?” The Mavs ultimately […]

The worst thing a franchise can do is to piss off their superstar player. Perhaps back in the 90s, owners playing hardball by being cheapskates could work. Nowadays, with players able to request trades at a moment’s notice, teams need to make sure that their stars are happy. However, Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder have evidently kickstarted its rebuild. With a Dallas Mavericks loss on Friday night to the Chicago Bulls, the Thunder clinched the No. 10 seed in the Play-in Tournament.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd is certainly not happy with the way their season ended.
