Why the Mavericks couldn’t get more than the smallest slice of salary cap relief for Klay Thompson
Update: The numbers are out as of Saturday afternoon. Thompson will forgo $9.8 of the $17.5 million due to him for this third season with the Mavericks, and the team will eat $7.7 million, bringing them about $12 million under the luxury tax. After two seasons with the Dallas Mavericks, Klay Thompson was ultimately reduced […]
Mavericks buy-out Klay Thompson
The Dallas Mavericks are buying out veteran guard Klay Thompson, the team announced Friday afternoon. Thompson will become a free agent, and reportedly sign with the Miami Heat. This was a long-rumored scenario, especially when it became clear the Mavericks were moving in a new direction around Cooper Flagg when ownership hired Masai Ujiri and […]
Santi Aldama to miss FIBA World Cup qualifiers
The Dallas Mavericks acquired Santi Aldama early in the offseason to give them some additional versatility in the form of a big that can shoot. Daniel Gafford is not a deep threat, and although Dereck Lively has shown behind the scenes that he is working on his 3-point shot, it is likely not game-ready and […]
Gina Miller wants to “help people fall in love with the Dallas Mavericks again”
“I’ll be real clear. Repair the relationship with the media,” Gina Miller said.

In an interesting interview with Locked On Mavs, she talked about the […]

Dallas Mavericks fans are split on PJ Washington
Over the weekend, Dallas Mavericks forward PJ Washington spoke with Kevin Gray of DLLS Sports and told him that he was very confident he’d be with the team for the start of the 2026-27 regular season.

Throwback Thursday – Playoff hero Calvin Booth – May 3rd 2001
On April 21st, 2001, the Dallas Mavericks officially broke the seal on the NBA Playoffs after a lengthy hiatus. Dallas had missed the Playoffs for 10-straight seasons, including a near miss in 1999-2000 when they went 40-42. Following that campaign, Dallas improved their win total by 13 games to finish 53-29 in 2000-2001, leaving no […]

Azzi Fudd to miss the remainder of the Dallas Wings’ season
The Dallas Wings announced today that Azzi Fudd, the team’s number one overall selection in the 2026 draft, will miss the remainder of the 2026 season. Per the team’s X account: The Wings will make the WNBA playoffs, so it’s worth noting specifically that the Wings are ruling Fudd out for that run as well […]
Five games on the Mavericks’ 2026-27 schedule that we are most looking forward to
The 2026-27 NBA schedules have been out for about a week now. It’s true, the Dallas Mavericks are something of a question mark this season, but the team’s slate is still chock-full of appointment television. The season tips off on Wednesday, October 21st in Houston and concludes at home against the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday, […]
Buyer Beware: These 10-game partial season ticket plans from the Mavericks come with a catch
The Dallas Mavericks have contacted 10-game mini-plan season-ticket holders from a year ago in hopes of retaining them for the 2026-27 season, but it appears the team is trying to sneak something shady into these plans. Buyers, beware. There’s now one more reason not to trust the Adelson-Dumont Regime. It’s just gaffe after sham after […]
Wings vs. Valkyries Recap: Dallas can’t come back in 78-70 loss at Golden State

Everyone is underrating Cooper Flagg, including us
The Mavericks just went through one of the strangest offseasons in the NBA. Dallas changed leadership, hired Dusty May, added several useful young players and role players, but never made the massive roster-altering move some expected. After months of debating what Masai Ujiri is building, whether the Mavericks have enough guards and which veterans could […]
Curt Miller and Greg Bibb are not built for this
The Dallas Wings are in a funk. After a fantastic start to the season, punctuated by a six-game win streak in July, the team has come crashing down to Earth. The good vibes and cautious optimism from their early success have all but dissipated, as Dallas has dropped seven of its last 10 games. Since […]

Dallas Mavericks fans are confident in this year’s team
Earlier in the week I was somewhat aghast when clicking through the win totals over at our partner FanDuel. The Dallas Mavericks have an over/under of 32.5! What in the WORLD.

There’s a good chance Zaccharie Risacher will turn it all around in Dallas: “The team lacked real structure in Atlanta”
Can a new situation improve performance? According to Lukas Nicot, a French journalist who’s followed Zaccharie Risacher since he was a teenager in the French club ASVEL, he is in a much better position with the Dallas Mavericks than he was during his first two years in Atlanta. “In Dallas, I think he’ll feel much […]
We now know why Dusty May left Michigan for Dallas
The Dallas Mavericks have undergone a massive overhaul this offseason. Included in the many changes was the hiring of a new head coach, Dusty May, straight off winning the NCAA National Championship.

Wings vs. Fever Preview: Injury-plagued Dallas travels to meet Caitlin Clark & Co. in Indiana
The Dallas Wings’ (20-14) roster is in the sunken place as the second leg of their latest scheduling gauntlet gets underway.
