Recently, Mark Cuban decided that he would not allow Dirk Nowitzki to play in the European Championships where he would have been representing his home country of Germany.  For Dirk it must be a bit of a disappointment.  For Dallas Mavericks fans this news certainly comes as a relief!
The idea of losing the best player for the Mavericks to an injury that occurred in the midst of a game that means absolutely nothing to the team would be heartbreaking.  Can you imagine the outburst of Lakers fans if Kobe Bryant blew out a knee in the Summer Olympics?  Or how [...]

Well there has been quite a few moves since my last post so let’s take a look at what the Dallas Mavericks have done thus far, what they may be doing in the near future and what impact it will have on the team’s future. I will be offering my grade on the move as well just for fun.
The Mavericks have signed Drew Gooden, is a 6-10, 27 year-old Center/Power Forward who spent last season in Chicago & San Antonio and played in the NBA Finals with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2006. Gooden isn’t an All-Star but I [...]

Usually I would have been all over the recent news and rumors associated with the Dallas Mavericks. Between moving, finding out I am going to be a father and being sick however, things were a little too hectic for me to properly update the site. That being said, let’s take a look at the recent news regarding the Mavs, shall we?
I will go in chronological order which means I start with the NBA Draft. When the pick was announced as BJ Mullens for the Dallas Mavericks I let out an audible groan. For those in the [...]

I was one of many who woke-up this morning expecting there to be news of NBA signings, player movements, or even maybe a trade. Sadly the only thing out there is rumors, varying reports and opinions of “pros” and random conjecture on the subject. w
For the Mavericks reports are that Mark Cuban was in New York to begin talking to Jason Kidd about resigning with the team. I would say there is about an 80% chance that Kidd comes back to Dallas. I don’t see any other team offering to pay Kidd what Dallas will offer [...]

Shaq is traded to Cleveland. Phoenix is trying to trade for Tyson Chandler so that New Orleans can dump some salary… oh and maybe for McGrady too. Vince Carter may be going to Orlando for these spare parts – Rafer Alson, Tony Battie & Courtney Lee. So where are the Mavericks in all this? Who the hell knows!!! People keep pointing towards to 2010 free agent bonanza but The Mavs just might want to worry about filling seats NEXT season. I for one will not be in attendance at any game at the AAC [...]
