These aren’t the same old Dallas Wings
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 […]
Dennis Smith Jr. and unpredictable hope
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 […]
Wings Preview: Three things to watch in the battle against Minnesota
After its 104-96 win over the Los Angeles Sparks on Friday night, the Dallas Wings hold a four-game winning streak, putting the team at the top of the WNBA. Dallas faces the Minnesota Lynx, a team holding the best record in the WNBA, on Tuesday night. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Target Center. […]
Karim Lopez would be a big swing for the Mavericks
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. […]
Trade Talk: A potential swap with the Sacramento Kings to move up in the NBA Draft
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, […]
Dallas Wings forward Jessica Shepard has come out of nowhere in phenomenal start to 2026
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 […]
Daniel Gafford offers insight on the state of the Mavs
The Dallas Mavericks have a busy offseason ahead, as they look to fill their head coaching vacancy and reshape their roster around Cooper Flagg. The coaching search is well underway, with both big college names and NBA veterans in the mix. Rumors are also swirling about potential trades, including the possibility of Daniel Gafford being […]
Wings vs. Sparks: Arike Ogunbowale’s big night leads Dallas past Los Angeles
Arike Ogunbowale busted loose for 30 points as the Dallas Wings (7-3) secured their fourth straight win on Friday, 104-96 over the Los Anagles Sparks. The victory gave Dallas its best start in ten games since the team was called the Detroit Shock. Ogunbowale scored a game-high 30 points as two of the highest-scoring offenses […]
Wings vs. Sparks Recap: Another thriller in Los Angeles ends in 104-96 Dallas win
Recent history has shown us that you don’t want to miss when Dallas Wings (7-3) clash with the Los Angeles Sparks (4-6) at Crypto.com Arena. Arike Ogunbowale hit all the 3-pointers, Jessica Shepard gobbled up all the rebounds and Paige Bueckers dished all the dimes on Friday as the Wings escaped Los Angeles with a […]
Terry Stotts joins the list of head coach candidates
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 […]
Dallas has engaged two high profile college names for their coaching vacancy
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 […]
Former Mav and Luka Doncic sidekick Jalen Brunson got his first Finals win. How do we feel about that?
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 […]
Wings vs. Sparks Preview: 3 Things to watch on the trip to Los Angeles
After winning 79-56 against the Seattle Storm on Monday night to close out its two-game homestand, the Dallas Wings (6-3) have won three straight games and return to the road for a game against the Los Angeles Sparks (4-5) on Friday. Tipoff is scheduled for 9 p.m. at Crypto.com Arena. The three straight wins give […]

The conclusion to the 2025-2026 NBA season is upon us with this NBA Finals matchup between the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks. Here’s the conference finals thread if you have any carryover discussions. All games start at 7:30 pm CST and all games will be on ABC. Before the series starts, my […]
Mock draft 3.0: The first post-lottery mock
With the NBA draft just 3 weeks away, it was finally time to do our first mock draft with the draft order fully set. We sat down on Monday night and drafted all 30 spots, mixing some realistic (and unrealistic) trades to spice it up. Here’s the whole thing if you want to watch the […]
The Mavs need a big return to move Irving or Gafford
The winds of change are blowing for the Dallas Mavericks. The magnitude of those winds is yet to be determined, but the likelihood of them being gale-force appears higher than not at this point. Already, the Mavs have hired a new President in Masai Ujiri, a new GM in Mike Schmitz and they will soon […]
Every NBA team should be interested in Duke’s Isaiah Evans
The Duke-to-Dallas pipeline has been running strong for the last few years. Former Blue Devils Kyrie Irving, Dereck Lively II and Cooper Flagg have each become Mavs since 2023 began, and each of whom have been varying levels of net positive. With the Mavericks very unlikely to draft Cam Boozer, their hopes of landing another […]
Dereck Lively makes progress in his recovery from foot surgery
The Dallas Mavericks have not seen much of Dereck Lively throughout his nascent career. In fact, the promising young center has played in only 98 of 240 (41%) possible regular season games since being selected with the number 10 pick in 2023. The bulk of his missed games stacked up this past season, when he […]
Wings vs. Storm Recap: Dallas blows Seattle out at home, 79-56
ARLINGTON, TX — The Dallas Wings (6-3) made quick work of the Seattle Storm (3-7) in the second half on Monday, cruising to a 79-56 win at College Park Center. The Wings held the Storm scoreless for the first four minutes of both the first and the second halves, but shot just 3-of-11 from the field […]
Dallas Mavericks to change arenas following 2030-2031 season
The Dallas Mavericks are moving arenas. Following the conclusion of the 2030-2031 season — which marks the end of the team’s 30-year lease with the city of Dallas — the Mavericks will move north to where the old Valley View Mall used to be in northern Dallas to play their home games. The Mavericks moved […]
Wings vs Storm Preview: Dallas looks to replicate its success on Monday
Because of the back-to-back wins, there is a lot to look forward to for the Dallas Wings next game against the Seattle Storm on Monday night. Tipoff is at 7 p.m. at the College Park Center. Excitement is brewing after Dallas defeated the defending champion Las Vegas Aces with a 95-87 win on Thursday night […]
Kingston Flemings is one of the safest lead guards in the top tier of the 2026 NBA Draft
As point guards coming out of a Kelvin Sampson-led program tend to do, Kingston Flemings, of the University of Houston, will come into the NBA with more than one trick in his bag. Playing under Sampson in his only year in the college game is perhaps another advantage he has over the bevy of attractive […]
Roundtable: Talking ourselves into things with the NBA Draft
On Monday I asked the staff this simple question (then forgot to run the post for a week): what is something regarding the NBA Draft that you’ve talked yourself into? Tyler: I’ve talked myself into believing that the Mavericks will be making at least one draft night trade in round one. At pick nine, it […]
The Mavericks are poised for a stress-free draft night
As someone who talks to, consumes, and is adjacent to a lot of Mavericks diehards and take artists, the overwhelming sentiment around Dallas’ drop in draft positioning is that it was a worst-case-scenario outcome. Whether it is a complaint about the process or a statement regarding the quality of players past the eighth pick, the […]
Will Nate Ament be available at nine for the Mavericks? Should they consider taking him?
You’ve heard it a thousand times: “The 2026 NBA Draft is deep.” But how deep does it go, and who will be available by the time the Dallas Mavericks are on the clock with the ninth overall pick? There are tiers in this draft. The first four picks are the obvious standouts from this past […]
