Today, our guy Grant Afseth wrote about a hypothetical three-way trade involving the Mavs that was mentioned by Bleacher Report recently. I don’t usually like the hypothetical trades BR comes up with for the Mavs, but this one actually makes a lot of sense to me, and it could be the best...

Yes, once a jersey is retired, no one else who comes through the franchise can wear that number anymore. Which is why it’s kinda hard for Kidd & Barea, who had two separate stints with two different numbers.

I know that was before Cuban’s time with the Mavs, but you’d think he’d be able to look back at how much Aguirre meant to the Mavs and make the right decision.

Nope! Never did. It’s a shame too. It needs to happen.

It’s nice to see teams like the Grizz wasting little time in showing the ultimate respect to key former players. It’d be nice if the Mavs would do the same. Aside from Dirk, there’s a couple of other guys’ numbers that should definitely be in the rafters already in my opinion. Finley, JET...

Health could obviously alter these predictions a good bit, but as things currently stand, this is how I see the 2021-2022 Western Conference playoff order playing out: 1. Suns 2. Jazz 3. Lakers 4. Mavs 5. Grizzlies 6. Warriors 7. Nuggets 8. Clippers I’m just not as high on the Warriors as...

Didn’t see this. Good to know. Do you have a link by chance?

There’s been a lot of negativity surrounding this Mavs’ offseason, and a lot of it is justified given what the expectations were vs. what actually happened (so far at least). However, the Mavs *did* improve by getting rid of Josh Richardson while signing Reggie Bullock and Sterling Brown to fill...

I’m glad the Mavs are getting Christmas Day games now, but man… they went from playing LeBron’s Lakers in the primetime slot last season to playing the Jazz during the night cap this year. I’ll take it, and I’m sure it’ll be a great game, but it feels like the NBA could’ve done better with that...

Nico Harrison so far in his first offseason as Mavs GM: - Traded J-Rich for a young prospect (Moses Brown) on a good value contract - Added two 40%+ 3PT shooters (and Reggie Bullock can play D too, not really sure about Sterling Brown) - Re-signed THJ to a good priced long-term deal Given the...

I wish this would’ve happened. Makes me upset that the Mavs didn’t have much interest in Dinwiddie, but it could’ve just been that Dinwiddie didn’t have much interest in Dallas & wanted to be the main ball handler.

People think I’m crazy for thinking this, but I’d rather take a flyer on bringing DSJ back for a year than give up young prospects like Terry & Green to bring in Dragic as a potential rental. DSJ was excellent defensively for Detroit as a bench guard last season. Still needs to work on his shot...

“One other team to watch for (Lauri) Markkanen is the Dallas Mavericks. I’ve heard they also have interest, so there’s some sign-&-trade possibilities involving him with Charlotte & Dallas.” — Kevin O’Conner on ‘The Mismatch’ podcast earlier today.

I can’t give details, but I can tell you that the Mavs don’t have much interest in a reunion at this time. At least as of two weeks ago. Maybe that changes given how free agency has gone & DSJ being an inexpensive familiar secondary playmaker option. Fwiw, I think he’d excel in a bench role this...
