ARLINGTON, TX — Paige Bueckers knows where Azzi Fudd is going to be. And turnabout is fair play — Fudd always knows where to find Bueckers, too. The on-court connection between the Dallas Wings’ bright-burning supernova and their emerging starlet fueled the Dallas Wings’ 85-70 win over the Phoenix Mercury on Thursday at College Park Center. The […]
The Dallas Wings (8-4) returned to the win column on Thursday with a 85-70 win over the Phoenix Mercury (4-10) at College Park Center.

The ninth pick in the NBA Draft is quite the interesting place to be. When you look back at the past 25 to 30 years, the swings between “complete flame out” and “Hall of Famer” are quite volatile. Dirk Nowitzki, Amar’e Stoudamire, Andre Iguodala, DeMar Derozan and Kemba Walker were all selected at the ninth […]
There’s a thought that keeps haunting me as I watch the NBA Finals this year. What if former Dallas Maverick superstar Luka Doncic – currently Los Angeles Lakers – had the same guidance and preparation early on and before even entering the league that the San Antonio Spurs’ young superstar Victor Wembanyama did? Would that […]
Your favorite Trade Machine has approved thousands of deals and never once flagged one for personality incompatibility. It checks the salaries, blesses the math, and leaves the human beings to sort themselves out. Three months ago, Secret Base’s Beef History series revisited the most instructive case of humans failing to sort themselves out in Mavericks […]
We’ve reached the portion of NBA Draft season where the collective NBA Draft Twitter resident is diving into Euroleague, NBL and La Liga film. While the level of international prospect has taken a bit of a dip in recent years, as the likes of Luka Doncic and Victor Wembanyama are quite hard to follow, this […]

Following the loss to Minnesota, Jose Fernandez said the team needs to have short term memory as it was not their best night. […]
The 2026 NBA Draft is just two short weeks away, which means it’s peak smoke screen season for your Dallas Mavericks. Information is coming fast and furious from all over the place, and it’s still very hard to decipher what’s real from what isn’t. One thing that can’t be denied is that there is a […]
When Masai Ujiri was hired he was tasked with a difficult balancing act; build a competent winning team, and set up success in the future. The idea of a full rebuild is sadly impossible due to the lack of draft picks over the next 5 years, and Cooper Flagg’s rapid ascension could mean the desire […]
A 100-76 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday night snapped the Dallas Wings four-game winning streak. The Wings entered the game flying high, sitting near the top of the WNBA standings. However, the Lynx leading the WNBA brought the Wings back down with a double digit loss. Dallas started the first quarter playing well […]
The Dallas Mavericks are trying to figure out what direction to go in this offseason, especially after the dismissal of head coach Jason Kidd.

The NBA Draft is right around the corner and the Dallas Mavericks will have at least two picks later this month. If you’ve read our first installment of Trade Talk, you know what it is we’re doing, but if not, the approach is simple. I curate a few trades from the variety of options we […]
September 11th, 2025. The Dallas Wings hosted the Phoenix Mercury at College Park Center in their season finale. It was another trying year for the Wings, who muddled their way through a 9-34 record heading into their last game. The Mercury had already wrapped up a top-four seed and had nothing to play for. After […]
For more than a decade, Dirk Nowitzki provided the Dallas Mavericks with a high floor when it came to wins and losses. Nowitzki was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks ninth overall and immediately traded to Dallas for Robert “Tractor” Traylor. For the next decade and a half, the Mavericks wouldn’t select higher than 12th in […]

When I first profiled Karim Lopez back in October, I mentioned him as a polarizing international prospect worth keeping an eye on. Now, with rumors circulating that new Mavericks President Masai Ujiri could view Lopez as a prototypical Dallas target, it’s worth revisiting my thoughts on a prospect I have followed for almost three years. […]
The Dallas Mavericks will be earnestly rebuilding their team around Cooper Flagg this offseason. Big changes are already underway following the hiring of Masai Ujiri and Mike Schmitz (as President and GM, respectively) and the departure of Jason Kidd. With the NBA season officially no more than five games from being over at this point, […]
Jessica Shepard has been shot out of a Dallas Wings-branded cannon to start her first season with the team. Through 10 games, Shepard is averaging 13.5 points, 11.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists as the Wings’ starting four on most nights. If those numbers hold up this year, 2026 will be the best year of Shepard’s […]

After Jason Kidd and the Dallas Mavericks parted ways a few weeks ago, the Mavs kicked off the search for his replacement. We previously covered the news that Dallas was exploring potential fits with collegiate stalwarts Jon Scheyer and Dusty May, and now word has come out that Terry Stotts is also being considered for […]
The Dallas Mavericks are underway in their search for a new head coach following the departure of Jason Kidd from the role. As is always the case with these things, multiple names are flying about social media as people try to draw rational conclusions (former Masai Ujiri contacts, assistant coaches on the cusp of taking […]
Oh, the good, old days. Back when things were so much better, and the sun was shining brighter, and the ocean was less polluted. Back then, Luka Doncic was a Maverick and constantly managed to carry his team further than expected, and we talked about how the team as a whole was better than the […]
