If basketball never stops, neither do basketball rumors. With the Dallas Mavericks crapping out of the postseason in one of the most spectacular in-season collapses in recent history, the franchise’s entire future seems suddenly tenuous. Kyrie Irving, who the Mavs dealt for at February’s trade deadline, is a free agent; Luka Doncic is under contract […]

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 loss officially eliminated the Mavs from playoff contention and, subsequently, improved their odds of keeping their 2023 first-round […]

The Dallas Mavericks may have just increased their odds of retaining their 2023 NBA Draft pick after officially being eliminated from the postseason Friday night but their sights may be set on bigger things that are beyond draft day. Should the Mavs’ selection fall out from the top 10 picks in this year’s draft, they […]

With Dallas Mavericks point guard Kyrie Irving set to become a free agent this offseason, “the early (stress: very early) rumbles have led to projections of a three- or four-year [contract]” for Irving should he re-sign, per NBA insider Marc Stein. Stein adds that Irving is eligible to sign a contract extension with the Mavs […]

The Dallas Mavericks acquired superstar Kyrie Irving before the 2022 NBA trade deadline. The trade was official on February 7, and the Mavs were fifth in the Western Conference, tied with the Phoenix Suns. The expectation was for them to retain that position or even raise their spot in the standings, but it went the […]

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.

Los Angeles Lakers? Denver Nuggets? Philadelphia 76ers?

The NBA was watching the Dallas Mavericks very closely ahead of- and during their loss to the Chicago Bulls on Friday night.

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.

Talk about going to worst to… even worst? The Dallas Mavericks hit rock bottom in a season full of lows when they rested their starters in a must-win game against the Chicago Bulls. They even went so far as to limit Luka Doncic to just one quarter, after the star expressed his determination to drag […]

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

The Dallas Mavericks advanced to the Western Conference Finals last season. It was an unexpected run that might have been a fluke for some, and they might have been correct with that assertion.
