The Mavericks are restoring something, and it’s worth watching them work
Somewhere on YouTube right now, a craftsman is prying a water-stained dresser out of a pile somebody left by the curb. Half a million people or more will watch him do it. They’ll watch him strip the ruined finish, find the grain underneath, and restore something beautiful that was an hour from the landfill. There’s […]

If you wanted to know the Dallas Wings’ (18-9) posture as the WNBA All-Star Break loomed, you need only look as far as the team’s injury report against the Portland Fire (11-16) before Wednesday’s 101-97 win at Moda Center.

Mavericks need consistency from Morez Johnson Jr.
Dallas Mavericks rookie Morez Johnson Jr. is leaving the Las Vegas Summer League with a mixed bag of tape to look over until the start of training camp.

Zaccharie Risacher’s contract leaves Mavericks with a decision to make

The Mavericks’ trade for Zaccharie Risacher is fine, just fine

Mine wasn’t much different. When Shams Charania […]
Why the Zaccharie Risacher trade does not make sense… yet
When Masai Ujiri was hired as the Mavericks GM, he had a reputation for his love of wings, often prioritizing them over everything else, and so far, his actions match his reputation.

Earlier in the week, we ran a basic poll question, asking you all which player you most enjoyed watching in the NBA Summer League held out in Las Vegas. One guy cleared the question easily. First round pick Sergio De Larrea ran away with the vote, getting 63% of the vote. And why was obvious […]

Can Kaodirichi Akobundu-Ehiogu bring his remarkable story full circle with the Mavericks?
We had overused the basketball witticism, “He can jump out of the gym” to the point that it had lost all meaning.
