The Mavericks 2025-26 season review: January
Coming out of a December that started off well but ended poorly, the Mavs were looking to build on the momentum of an ever-growing Cooper Flagg, all the while hoping Anthony Davis would finally string together a run that could help propel Dallas to a PlayIn berth or better. For the most part, Flagg was […]
Roundtable: Masai is the GM!
Last week, many of our writers had Masai Ujiri takes, which is good. I want lots of article about as many points of view as possible. The challenge is that left less room for the rest of us to write. So here are the remaining reactions to last Monday’s news about the Mavericks hiring Masai […]
Wings vs. Fever Recap: Dallas fends off Indiana in frenzied finish, 107-104 to open the 2026 season
What a game to open the Dallas Wings’ 2026 season after two years wandering through the WNBA wilderness. The Wings (1-0) held off a hard-charging second-half comeback attempt from the Indiana Fever (0-1) at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday, 107-104. Arike Ogunbowale led the Wings with 22 points on 8-of-15 shooting, Paige Bueckers added 20 on […]
Four(ish) pressing questions ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft Combine
The NBA’s Draft Combine is set to kick off on Sunday, May 10th from Chicago. The Windy City will be the unofficial headquarters for team executives over the next week or so, as the Draft Lottery will take place on the 10th, with the combine running from the 10th to the 17th of May. The […]
The Mavericks 2025-26 season review: December
In our last installment, we took a look at the start of the season. The Mavericks lost their starting center, fired their GM and gave Cooper Flagg plenty of burn as a point guard. As December rolled in, Flagg was already showing exponential improvement and Anthony Davis returned to the lineup after missing 15 out […]
Is Jason Kidd on his way out of Dallas?
The Dallas Mavericks hired Masai Ujiri last Monday to lead the team as President and Alternate Governor. Naturally, questions abound as to what the organization will look like under the new regime. The Draft Lottery is mere days away and garnering much of the Mavericks-related attention. Where will they land? What type of player will […]
Mavericks hire Mike Schmitz away from Portland as general manager under Masai Ujiri
The Dallas Mavericks made something of a surprising hire on Friday after welcoming Masai Ujiri in as president of basketball operations and alternate governor in a press conference on Tuesday. The Mavericks announced that Mike Schmitz will be the team’s next general manager, working under Ujiri. All of a sudden, the uncertainty surrounding Ujiri’s titles, […]
The Dallas Wings open the 2026 season at Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever
The Dallas Wings open the 2026 WNBA season on the road against the Indiana Fever on Saturday, featuring the regular-season debut of Azzi Fudd. Tipoff from Gainbridge Fieldhouse is scheduled for noon. Fudd will be one of four number one picks playing. All of the last four number one picks in the WNBA Draft are […]
Mock draft 2.0: One final pre-lottery mock
We are officially at the six-week mark from the NBA Draft, and this weekend will be one of the biggest hinge points of the entire offseason. After the draft lottery, teams will be able to shape their boards and start the wheeling and dealing that is sure to come. Before that is decided on Sunday, […]
Dallas to learn its draft position at NBA Draft Lottery Sunday
When the Dallas Mavericks concluded their 2025-2026 campaign — one of the worst seasons in franchise history with a 26-56 record — all eyes turned to the NBA draft. Fans are hoping the team can notch a top pick like they did last season when their 1.9% chance to get the No. 1 pick turned […]
The Mavericks 2025-26 season review: October/November
The Dallas Mavericks closed the 2025-2026 NBA season with a 26-56 record, good for 12th place in the Western Conference. There was no PlayIn Tournament for Dallas. There was no Playoffs. The season simply ended with game 82 in the middle of April. Being tied for the seventh worst record in the league left much […]
Caleb Martin season recap: a misbegotten piece through no fault of his own
Had Luka Doncic not been traded two days prior to the Dallas Mavericks acquiring Caleb Martin during the 2024-2025 season, it’s reasonable to think the latter transaction would have been one of the more puzzling in recent memory. In fact, despite the seismic Doncic-for-Anthony-Davis swap, the Martin trade drew its fair share of attention anyway. […]
The Dallas Wings are a team on the rise, according to the latest WNBA GM survey
Watch out for the Dallas Wings this season. Opposing teams’ general managers certainly will be. The Wings were voted the team most likely to improve in 2026, the team that made the best offseason moves before the 2026 season and were tied for first in the voting (with the Seattle Storm) for having the most […]
Look up, you might miss the basketball
They predicted a firm Los Angeles Lakers loss to the Houston Rockets in the First Round of this year’s NBA playoffs. Without two of their three best players (Austin Reaves, out with an oblique injury and Luka Doncic, out with a hamstring strain), they had no chance against the talented young Rockets, most media members […]
John Poulakidas begs a question
There was no John Poulakidas player preview here at MavsMoneyball. That is understandable given the undrafted rookie’s whereabouts at the time. Back in October, he was preparing to play 27 minutes per night for the Clippers’ G-League affiliate, having been waived by Los Angeles in camp two weeks earlier. He didn’t become a Maverick until […]
Why the Mavericks must bring back Moussa Cisse
When Mousa Cisse was signed as a two-way player before the season, no one had any expectations for the rookie big-man. But Cisse was a pleasant surprise all season, as his energy and rim protection were felt anytime he stepped on the court. But with the Mavs frontcourt being so crowed, should the Mavericks bring […]
Do you approve of the hire of Masai Ujiri?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Mavericks fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. I suspect this one gets near universal approval but I am curious what you all think […]
Patrick Dumont’s new-found self awareness offers some hope for the future
The Mavericks introduced Masai Ujiri as their new president of basketball operations on Tuesday. He answered questions for about 45 minutes, where he spoke about his background, his time off from basketball, and his hope of turning Cooper Flagg into a king. But it wasn’t Ujiri who inspired the most hope in me on Tuesday. […]
Under Masai Ujiri, the Dallas Mavericks are set to receive a full-body scan
Oh, how seductive it must have been. You buy a basketball team. Months later, you are standing at midcourt in Minnesota holding the Western Conference Finals trophy. Cameras catch your face. For one dangerous second you cannot help but think: is this what owning a sports franchise is like? It is not. A few days […]
Masai Ujiri’s introductory press conference offered few answers, even less clarity
Masai Ujiri is a splashy name to fill the Dallas Mavericks’ president of basketball operations (and alternate governor) position, and one sure to spark endless fodder for debate for podcasters and basketball content creators. Is Ujiri washed? Or is he the dose of stability that this franchise needs as the Mavericks stare down the task […]
Evaluating Masai Ujiri’s post-championship run
The Dallas Mavericks shocked the basketball world on Monday morning by hiring veteran executive Masai Ujiri as their new President of Basketball Operations and Alternate Governor. Ujiri enjoyed largely successful stints as the top decision maker with the Denver Nuggets and Toronto Raptors throughout the 2010s, winning both an Executive of the Year award and […]
From unheralded to unstoppable: Keaton Wagler is the best point guard in this draft class
There is a morass of guards in the middle of the NBA Draft’s lottery that the Mavericks could potentially get a chance to pick from. Granted, they likely won’t get their pick of the bunch, for various reasons that have been laid out on this site before. However, if they were able to land their […]
Max Christie just had the best year of his young career — but is he part of the Mavericks’ core?
If Cormac Karl “Max” Christie had put up the numbers he put up in 2025-26 in support of a team battling for playoff positioning down the stretch, Dallas Mavericks fans would be calling him one of the most underrated players in the NBA. He’d be a bona fide up-and-comer. He shot a career-best 40.4% from […]
Was Masai Ujiri a wise choice?
The Dallas Mavericks made the flashy hire of Masai Ujiri on Monday afternoon, bolstering their front office less than a week before the NBA Draft Lottery determines where the Mavericks will be picking in June’s Draft. After Nico Harrison was removed from his GM responsibilities in November, the Mavericks operated somewhat unconventionally with no formal […]
MMBets: Eastern Conference Semifinals feature several unknowns
The NBA Playoffs are a fickle beast, and that remains especially true for the Eastern Conference Playoffs. Three of the four first round series went the distance, which saw the pre-playoff favorite Boston Celtics be eliminated after blowing a 3-1 lead to the Sixers. The number one seed Detroit Pistons staged a 3-1 comeback of […]
