The Dallas Mavericks (4-10) sorely needed this one.

Dallas Mavericks Legend Dirk Nowitzki weighs in on the end of the Nico Harrison era
Dirk Nowitzki is rarely one to stir the pot. So when the Mavs legend took a seat on the Amazon Prime set and plainly stated, “This move probably should’ve happened in the summer,” it carried weight. In his measured, familiar cadence, Dirk laid bare the grief many Mavericks fans have been unable to shake. The […]
NBA Power Rankings Watch: the Mavericks move on
This week marks the time the Mavericks move forward, and the storm clouds clear for fans. While the move to fire Nico Harrison doesn’t solve or restore anything, it matters to the health of the franchise in the short and long term, and lifts the collective mental health of those who follow them. This week’s […]
The dark cloud has cleared
Tuesday morning, a dark cloud cleared over the heads of Maverick fans across the globe when it was announced that Nico Harrison would be fired following the team’s 3-8 start to the season.

Mavericks vs Clippers Preview and Injury Update: The Sadness Bowl
The Dallas Mavericks (3-8) host the Los Angeles Clippers (3-9) on Friday night at home. Both of these teams have been wildly disappointing relative to preseason expectations.

Drafting the Flagg Blueprint
Now that the Nico Harrison championship window experiment is over, it’s time to get serious about how the Dallas Mavericks can leverage their talent to bring in players and draft assets to build around their rookie generational talent, Cooper Flagg.

Breaking down who could be the next General Manager of the Dallas Mavericks
When Nico Harrison was fired in early morning hours of November 11th, two questions permeated every Mavericks fan’s mind: Who will get traded, and who will be the next GM.

Dereck Lively II has developed into a fan favorite. His energy helps anchor the Mavericks defense and he provides a lob threat for easy dunks.

So Long, Salieri
There is an unofficial system of checks and balances that exists in the liminal space between NBA players, coaches, executives, owners, and fans. As soon as any piece of that continuum is too far out of balance, order is restored—eventually. Often, it is a player forced to retire due to the inevitable entropy of skill, […]
Mavs fans spoke too loudly to ignore. Why the determination of a fanbase could inspire more to use their voices
My great-grandfather was persona-non-grata back in the beginning of the 1900’s. He couldn’t find a job anywhere. He was a bricklayer, and a good one at that, but he was also sick and tired of working 12 hours a day, six days a week in a job that was often dangerous, for a pay that […]
Mavs YouTube Roundup: Fire Nico Chants Actually Worked Edition
Can I be honest with you? Today is the first day the RoundUp has felt like getting back on the horse and aggregating the whole of YouTube because—well—we’ve been depressed just like (many of) you have. I think today is a good day to call 2025 in the Dallas Mavericks universe what it has been […]
