Moneyball Mailbag: September 8th Edition, waiting on the season
Welcome to the first official installment of Moneyball Mailbag! Here we will be answering reader questions pertaining to all things Dallas Mavericks, gathered from far and wide (namely, our Feed, social media and maybe even some that were asked face-to-face). If you asked a question, we’re grateful and thank you for joining in. If you […]
Mavs Moneyball readers have been Dallas Mavericks fans for a long time
Since we’re in the part of the offseason where there’s not really anything Dallas Mavericks to talk about (I wish I had the juice to cover FIBA, but I do not), I thought I’d poll our commenting fanbase on the origin period of their fandom. And somehow I ended up surprised! Of the commenters who […]
The Euro Mavs, part III: The American perspective. NBA coaches on European player development
The Dallas Mavericks now have five Europeans on their roster, and the NBA is getting increasingly more international and influenced by the European style of play. After primarily focusing on the European perspective in part I and part II, it’s time to take a look at this topic from the other side in part III: […]
FIBA Women’s World Cup Rundown: Wings, Team USA, and how to watch
Group play in the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup starts on Friday in Berlin, Germany. The tournament runs through Sept. 13, with the WNBA season resuming on the 17th. The World Cup lets basketball fans see some of the best players team up to represent their country, and Team USA has the chance to […]
Dereck Lively gives ‘gone fishing’ a new meaning
The Dallas Mavericks have been without the services of Dereck Lively since very early last season, but that hasn’t stopped him from making his presence known. Lively has made his fair share of team-related social media appearances and even stopped by Summer League in July, showing he is still very much in the mix with […]
The Euro Mavs Part II: Two things had to happen simultaneously for Europe to be able to compete with the US
Ahmet Melik Subaşı is the head of marketing, communications and business development for the Turkish club Beşiktaş JK’s Basketball, which just secured a spot in the best European league, the EuroLeague. He also covers sports industry related articles for a Turkish magazine named Sports & Company. Question: Europe and other countries are at a direct […]
The Moneyball Mailbag is coming soon
Here at Mavs Moneyball, we spend some of the offseason thinking up new ideas for features we can bring to our readers for the upcoming season. Our latest brainchild isn’t necessarily novel, but it’s new to our site. Having a great group of readers who frequent our comments section led us to believe a Mailbag […]

The Mavericks go for gold (again) with City Edition jersey
The Dallas Mavericks are just weeks away from year-two Cooper Flagg and a new look roster taking the court for training camp. In the calm before the upcoming storm that is the NBA season, basketball-related news is quiet, but that leaves plenty of room for things like… jersey leaks. It’s no secret that the NBA […]

The reinvention of Arike Ogunbowale
For most of its history, being the franchise player for the Dallas Wings has been a thankless job. Ask Skylar Diggins, who came to Dallas when the team relocated from Tulsa in 2016, her fourth WNBA season. After three years, two All-Star appearances, two All-WNBA finishes, and zero playoff wins in Arlington, Diggins had enough. […]

ARLINGTON, TX — The Dallas Wings (24-16) made it four wins in a row on Sunday with their 97-71 win over the Connecticut Sun (10-30) at College Park Center. The win gives the Wings the season sweep over the Sun and moves Dallas into a three-way tie with the Washington Mystics and the New York […]
Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving dazzles in latest open-run footage
With the start of the 2026-27 NBA season less than two months away, Dallas Mavericks fans have many reasons to be excited. The continued development and ascension of 19-year-old Cooper Flagg is the biggest, but the return of star point guard Kyrie Irving has to be a close second. It has been quite a while […]
Wings vs. Sun Preview: Dallas looks to push win streak to four-straight as Connecticut comes to town
The Dallas Wings (23-16) host the Connecticut Sun (10-29) Sunday evening at College Park Center.

He’s here to stay: 3 reasons why the Mavericks won’t trade Kyrie Irving
We’re under two months away from opening night, and there’s plenty of chatter surrounding the new-look Dallas Mavericks. From draft night in June to trade splashes in July to personnel moves in August, the Mavericks have had a busy summer. They’ll begin the 2026 season with a new president, new coach, and a flurry of […]
Replacing Klay Thompson’s shooting volume
When the Dallas Mavericks opted to buy out Klay Thompson this week, they opted opt out of nearly a quarter of the team’s three point shooting attempts from the 2025-26 season. Thompson hit 202 and the Mavericks hit 899 as a team. That made this week’s survey question easy… who on the roster would step […]
The Euro Mavs part I: Are they really that different? How tradition and culture affect talent
The Dallas Mavericks have five Europeans on their roster at this point (including two-way player, British Tobi Lawal), two of which are completely new to the US and the NBA. But why do we keep talking about this? What is really the difference between a European player and an American? And does it matter when […]
Now that the Wings have clinched, can they avoid becoming playoff dinner for the Lynx or Valkyries?
The Dallas Wings (23-16) clinched a WNBA playoff berth with Tuesday’s 96-78 win over the Portland Fire. It’s a remarkable turnaround after getting shoved into the locker for two seasons on their way to a combined 19-65 record spanning 2024 and 2025. No one should take anything away from the team’s progression here. But a […]
Wings vs. Fire Recap: Dallas clinches playoff seed in 96-78 win over Portland
The Dallas Wings (23-13) defeated the Portland Fire (15-23), 96-78, in a Tuesday night matchup at College Park Center. The win makes it Dallas’ third straight since returning home after its recent skid in the standings. More importantly, the win marks the Wings’ franchise-high win total since moving the team to Dallas. The Wings had […]

Wings vs. Storm Recap: Huge first quarter lifts Dallas to 92-70 win over Seattle
ARLINGTON, TX — The Dallas Wings (22-16) let loose an all-out aerial assault to start Sunday’s game against the Seattle Storm (7-32), and never looked back in their 92-70 win at College Park Center.

The matchup comes after the Wings’ turnaround win over the Indiana Fever last Thursday night. Sunday’s game with Seattle marks the third and final matchup between the two teams, with Dallas looking to cap off the series […]
Why the Mavericks couldn’t get more than the smallest slice of salary cap relief for Klay Thompson
Update: The numbers are out as of Saturday afternoon. Thompson will forgo $9.8 of the $17.5 million due to him for this third season with the Mavericks, and the team will eat $7.7 million, bringing them about $12 million under the luxury tax. After two seasons with the Dallas Mavericks, Klay Thompson was ultimately reduced […]
Mavericks buy-out Klay Thompson
The Dallas Mavericks are buying out veteran guard Klay Thompson, the team announced Friday afternoon. Thompson will become a free agent, and reportedly sign with the Miami Heat. This was a long-rumored scenario, especially when it became clear the Mavericks were moving in a new direction around Cooper Flagg when ownership hired Masai Ujiri and […]
Santi Aldama to miss FIBA World Cup qualifiers
The Dallas Mavericks acquired Santi Aldama early in the offseason to give them some additional versatility in the form of a big that can shoot. Daniel Gafford is not a deep threat, and although Dereck Lively has shown behind the scenes that he is working on his 3-point shot, it is likely not game-ready and […]
