Dallas Mavericks fans are very supportive of the Naji Marshall extension
Earlier in the week, we ran a poll in numerous places asking fans to share their opinion of the Naji Marshall extension. The results, as you can see below, are very clear. Nearly three in four voters like the three-year, $52 million extension for the 28-year-old forward. 15% don’t like the move and 11% are […]
Kyrie Irving and the Five Februarys
The NBA recently found itself arguing with a medical journal, and the league office doesn’t usually bother punching down at a sample size of nineteen unless something in the findings stings. The paper, published late last month in the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, examined nineteen NBA players who ruptured an Achilles tendon over the […]
Wings vs. Valkyries Preview: Dallas hosts Golden State at American Airlines Center
The Dallas Wings (19-12) will host the Golden State Valkyries (21-9) on Friday at the team’s future home, just days after announcing that all 2027 home games would be played at Dallas’ American Airlines Center. Tipoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. The Wings have hit a rocky 3-4 patch in their last seven games, while […]

Wings star Paige Bueckers is going to Berlin. USA Basketball announced its roster for the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup on Thursday, and Bueckers is one of six guards headed to the tournament with the team.

MMB Lounge: The August desert
Hello all, sorry for the delay in new lounge posts. My kids are in the final days of summer and between them and the two puppies, my life is unbridled chaos at all times. Here’s the last lounge thread in case you want to continue any debates. As far as the summer… well we don’t […]
The Spanish connection. How Sergio De Larrea and Santi Aldama could hit the ground running in Dallas
The two new Spanish Mavericks, rookie Sergio De Larrea and recently traded from the Memphis Grizzlies, stretch-big Santi Aldama, may not need a lot of minutes together before making a real impact for the Dallas Mavericks this season. They already played a lot of minutes together during FIBA EuroBasket 2025, and during the preparation stage […]
Wings vs. Mystics recap: Dallas falls to Washington on quick road trip, 96-92
The Dallas Wings (19-12) fell to the Washington Mystics (17-12) 96-92 in a Wednesday night matchup between two young squads that served as a rematch of last Friday’s Mystics’ win. The Wings made a return to Washington with the hopes of rewriting their last matchup’s results that fell short. Dallas executed their offense aggressively in […]
Wings vs. Mystics Preview: Tough stretch run for Dallas starts with chance for payback at Washington
It’s about to get a little nittier and grittier around here for your Dallas Wings (19-11). The Wings sit in a tie for fourth place in the WNBA Standings as they stare down a stretch where their next seven opponents boast a combined record of 129-77. To squeeze a little more juice into the scenario, […]
Vsevolod Ishchenko is rumored to be staying overseas for the 2026-27 season
Vsevolod Ishchenko was the #56 pick in the NBA Draft this past June, selected by the Chicago Bulls. In rapid succession, his rights moved to the Los Angeles Lakers for cash considerations, then on to the Dallas Mavericks, also for cash considerations. With Dallas, Ishchenko came stateside to play in the Summer League where he […]
How the Dallas Mavericks depth-chart shakes out 2 months from training camp
The Dallas Mavericks have made a multitude of changes so far this offseason with much of the roster being reformed. With a roster full of tall, versatile players, it makes slotting players into defined positions very difficult. I have slotted players based on their offensive roles and responsibilities rather than what they would traditionally play […]

5 Big Reasons to Be Excited for Dallas Mavericks Basketball in 2026-27
Eighteen months ago, it was hard to imagine Dallas Mavericks fans feeling genuinely optimistic about the future. If you’ve followed my work for the better part of a decade, you know how serious a statement that is, because one thing I’ve never had anyone tell me is that I’m not optimistic enough. The baffling decision […]
Wings vs. Sun Recap: Dallas bounces back, wallops Connecticut 83-63
ARLINGTON, TX — The Dallas Wings (19-11) took care of business against an even more depleted version of the last-place Connecticut Sun (7-23), 83-63, on Sunday at College Park Center. Jessica Shepard and Arike Ogunbowale paced the Wings with 15 points apiece as the starting unit got the fourth quarter off in the blowout win. […]

Marshall was entering the final year of his previous contract with Dallas for $9.4 […]
Dallas Mavericks fans are still mixed on the offseason
Earlier this week we had a poll up asking you to grade the Dallas Mavericks’ offseason. This was a question where I simply assumed fans would give the team an A. The results were really interesting! There’s a lot to derive from results like this. Make no mistake, the vast majority of respondents thought Dallas […]
Wings vs. Sun Preview: Dallas looks to bounce back at home against Connecticut
The Dallas Wings (18-11) return home to College Park Center Sunday evening, where they will match up with the Connecticut Sun (7-22). This game follows the Wings’ second straight loss, both coming late in the game. Friday night’s loss against Washington displayed Dallas’ dire need for paint defense on the roster. Dallas needs to hone […]
The Mavericks need new jerseys, and now is the perfect time to unveil them
The Indiana Pacers just unveiled their new “statement” jerseys for the 2026-27 season. For anyone who has not kept up with the naming conventions Nike introduced a decade ago, the old “home”, “away”, and “alternate” jerseys are now called “association”, “icon”, and “statement”. The Pacers’ new threads are an ode to the 90’s and look […]

Shakira Austin scored 19 of her season-high 28 points against the Wings in […]
Is new Maverick Tarik Biberovic the next elite European sharpshooter in the NBA?
Tarik Biberovic is not an up-and-coming youngster from somewhere far away. Well, maybe the last part, depending on where you live. The 25-year-old shooting guard helped lead his club, Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahçe, to multiple Turkish championships, a EuroLeague championship in 2025, and comes fresh off of winning the Turkish Cup Final MVP Award, 2026. He […]
3 things to watch as the Wings hit the road against the Washington Mystics
The Dallas Wings (18-10) travel to Washington for the first of two road games in a week against the Washington Mystics (15-12) 7pm CDT Friday at CareFirst Arena.

Roundtable: Grading the Dallas Mavericks Offseason
The NBA Offseason isn’t over but this week we decided to grade what the Dallas Mavericks have done so far. Michael: I’m giving the team an A-. That may be hard for some to fathom when a team like the 76ers landed Jaylen Brown and LeBron James (what could their grade possibly be if ours […]
Wings vs. Dream Recap: Dallas gets sloppy late, lose to Atlanta, 82-81
The Dallas Wings (18-10) fell to the Atlanta Dream (17-10) 82-81 in the final moments of the game, as the two squads returned from the All-Star break in a Wednesday night nationally televised showdown.

Mavericks starting lineup can be fluid
The Dallas Mavericks are going into the season with a projected starting lineup of Kyrie Irving, Max Christie, Cooper Flagg, PJ Washington and Dereck Lively II. While this should be the starting five for the first game of the season (barring injury), it might not be how the Mavs finish the year. “This starting five […]
