Latest news and updates about the Mavericks
As someone who talks to, consumes, and is adjacent to a lot of Mavericks diehards and take artists, the overwhelming sentiment around Dallas’ drop in draft positioning is that it was a worst-case-scenario outcome. Whether it is a complaint about the process or a statement regarding the quality of players past the eighth pick, the […]
You’ve heard it a thousand times: “The 2026 NBA Draft is deep.” But how deep does it go, and who will be available by the time the Dallas Mavericks are on the clock with the ninth overall pick? There are tiers in this draft. The first four picks are the obvious standouts from this past […]

The Miami Heat may have another superstar to consider should the Dallas Mavericks include Kyrie Irving in their offseason changes.
The Dallas Mavericks have some question marks surrounding Kyrie Irving’s future with the team that should be answered this offseason. The Mavs want to keep Irving around as a veteran mentor, but given the change surrounding the organization, Masai Ujiri and Mike Schmitz should be listening to possible trade offers for him. ESPN analyst Zach […]
The Kyrie Irving trade talk is picking up steam this summer in a big way. Proposed deals are coming at us left and right. It's obvious that keeping Kyrie around to dominate the ball doesn't make sense when the Dallas Mavericks need to center everything they do going forward around this year's Rookie of the Year, phenom Cooper Flagg. Irving, 34, is coming off a full year away from the court recovering from a torn ACL. But there are plenty of teams that might feel the nine-time All-...
It’s been nearly 16 months since the Dallas Mavericks traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, but the two sides could find themselves making another deal this offseason.

The Dallas Mavericks are clearly hitting the reset button and may already have the perfect potential trade partner, the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Now that Masai Ujiri is back at the helm of an NBA club with the Dallas Mavericks, could he be thinking of dealing with his old team north of the border on a huge trade? All eyes are on Kyrie Irving's future in Dallas as the offseason starts to move along, and there have been many suggested potential trade partners already. We recently took a look at a blockbuster that could move Kyrie to a Western Conference contender. Another rumor that comes to us would be the potential of Ujiri calli...
If Masai Ujiri chooses to send Dallas into a full-scale rebuild, the Hawks would be silly not to make a few calls about Kyrie Irving.

The Portland Trail Blazers are one of a handful of NBA franchises currently searching for their next head coach to guide the team through their next era. Given the plethora of vacancies available—the Blazers, Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks, and Orlando Magic—aspiring coaches have a few options. Candidates will no doubt consider both the pros and […]
Since the firing of Jason Kidd, Mavericks fans have been speculating on who the Mavericks could hire to replace him, and with Masai Ujiri’s track record, it could be someone unexpected. So with this search underway, who are some likely candidates, and are there unexpected names that could surprise the NBA world, all according to […]
Darius Acuff Jr. of the Arkansas Razorbacks is perhaps the favorite small-ish point guard on the 2026 NBA Draftboard. Acuff’s offensive case speaks loudly enough to justify high-end lottery interest, but the questions surrounding his defensive effort and shot profile are real enough to split many evaluators. He was Arkansas’ engine as a freshman, scoring […]

Before the Dallas Mavericks announced the hiring of team president Masai Ujiri, very little had been reported on the search. Every couple months between the November firing of Nico Harrison and this month’s hiring, there would be a sprinkle of insight into team governor Patrick Dumont’s thinking. The team made it clear that they would […]
When Donnie Nelson was fired in 2021, and Rick Carlisle stepped down shortly after, no one argued whether or not this was the correct decision. Nelson had failed to put together a functional roster, and Carlisle’s relationship with Luka Doncic grew sour. The question revolved around who they hired to replace them. And, as history […]
After the Dallas Mavericks fired coach Jason Kidd, a rumor sparked that new GM Masai Ujiri would make a run at Duke’s Jon Scheyer. From his point of view, it makes sense. Scheyer has shown a striking command of the game, an ability to rapidly adapt to changes in the game, and of course, he […]
No surprise here, the Sixers’ rookie is getting recognized for his stellar inaugural season as a pro. Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe has been named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team, the league announced on Wednesday night. The other First Team rookies for this season are Cedric Coward (Memphis), Cooper Flagg (Dallas), Dylan Harper (Spurs) […]
The Spurs won’t have a third consecutive Rookie of the Year, as the Mavericks’ Cooper Flagg claimed that honor, but that doesn’t mean Dylan Harper’s excellent play will go unrecognized. The second overall pick of the 2025 draft got a spot in the All-Rookie First Team, the league announced. Harper received 93 first-place votes and […]
