Joshua Jefferson is the type of connecting piece the Mavericks need next to Cooper Flagg
The back end of the 2026 NBA Draft is going to be quite the adventure for the league, including the Dallas Mavericks. The conglomerate of players who could go between picks 15 and 45 is truly fascinating. One of the players who seems to firmly fit in that range is Iowa State forward Joshua Jefferson. […]
Wings vs. Aces Preview: Tough scheduling stretch continues for Dallas; will Bueckers play?
The Dallas Wings (8-5) continue a rough scheduling stretch on Monday when the Las Vegas Aces (10-3) come to town for the second time. Tipoff at College Park Center is scheduled for 7 p.m. The Wings will be playing their fourth of five games in nine days on Monday, and this one comes against the […]
Wings vs. Fire Recap: Portland outlasts Dallas, 84-83, as Paige Bueckers sits with ankle injury
Bridget Carleton got hot from 3-point range, Megan Gustafson and Carle Leite added key buckets late and the Dallas Wings (8-5) held their deadliest weapon out of the game as a precaution on Saturday. It all added up to an 84-83 loss to the Portland Fire (7-8) Dallas would love to have another crack at. […]
Analyst names best, worst NBA Draft fits for Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks are narrowing down their search for the No. 9 overall pick in the 2026 NBA draft. There are only a handful of prospects the Mavericks can choose from, especially with eight teams selecting ahead of them. One player who has been linked to the Mavericks consistently throughout the pre-draft process is Arizona […]
Wings vs. Fire Preview: 3 things to watch as Dallas is on the road again
Following a 85-70 win fueled by Paige Bueckers on Thursday night, the Dallas Wings (8-4) return to the road to face the Portland Fire (6-8) on Saturday night. Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m. at the Moda Center. While Dallas has won three out of the last four games, Portland is currently on a four-game losing […]
Kyrie Irving may not be on the trading block despite Mavs’ rebuild
Earlier this month, we touched on the possibility of the Dallas Mavericks moving veterans Daniel Gafford and Kyrie Irving this offseason as the team looks to rebuild for the future with Cooper Flagg as its centerpiece. In many ways, those deals make a lot of sense. Dallas is starved for picks after this upcoming draft […]
Trade Talk: Helping the Thunder in exchange for a pick
As things currently stand, the Dallas Mavericks have two picks in the first round of the NBA Draft later this month, namely their own #9 and the Oklahoma City Thunder’s #30. In what is clearly a deep draft, the Mavs would do well to get as many bites of the apple as possible to build […]

June 12, 2011: The Greatest Game in Mavericks History
Jason Terry’s 26-footer rimmed out, and the clock hit triple zeros. Dwyane Wade caught the rebound and emphatically threw the ball towards the American Airlines Center rafters. The Miami Heat just won their first championship. The 20,000+ in attendance stood in awe as what seemed like a foregone conclusion a week before had turned into […]
Wings 85, Mercury 70: Paige Bueckers-Azzi Fudd connection fuels Dallas’ win over Phoenix
ARLINGTON, TX — Paige Bueckers knows where Azzi Fudd is going to be. And turnabout is fair play — Fudd always knows where to find Bueckers, too. The on-court connection between the Dallas Wings’ bright-burning supernova and their emerging starlet fueled the Dallas Wings’ 85-70 win over the Phoenix Mercury on Thursday at College Park Center. The […]
Wings vs. Mercury Recap: Paige Bueckers explodes to lead Dallas to 85-70 win over Phoenix
The Dallas Wings (8-4) returned to the win column on Thursday with a 85-70 win over the Phoenix Mercury (4-10) at College Park Center. Paige Bueckers carried the scoring as she helped Dallas rebound from the 100-76 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday night that snapped the team’s four-game winning streak. After Bueckers scored […]
What can the Dallas Mavericks expect from the 9th overall pick?
The ninth pick in the NBA Draft is quite the interesting place to be. When you look back at the past 25 to 30 years, the swings between “complete flame out” and “Hall of Famer” are quite volatile. Dirk Nowitzki, Amar’e Stoudamire, Andre Iguodala, DeMar Derozan and Kemba Walker were all selected at the ninth […]
Watching Wemby, you wonder what Luka Doncic could have accomplished if he had a similar setup early on
There’s a thought that keeps haunting me as I watch the NBA Finals this year. What if former Dallas Maverick superstar Luka Doncic – currently Los Angeles Lakers – had the same guidance and preparation early on and before even entering the league that the San Antonio Spurs’ young superstar Victor Wembanyama did? Would that […]
Mavs YouTube RoundUp Spotlight: When the right trade went completely wrong
Your favorite Trade Machine has approved thousands of deals and never once flagged one for personality incompatibility. It checks the salaries, blesses the math, and leaves the human beings to sort themselves out. Three months ago, Secret Base’s Beef History series revisited the most instructive case of humans failing to sort themselves out in Mavericks […]
Sergio de Larrea is worth a first round flier
We’ve reached the portion of NBA Draft season where the collective NBA Draft Twitter resident is diving into Euroleague, NBL and La Liga film. While the level of international prospect has taken a bit of a dip in recent years, as the likes of Luka Doncic and Victor Wembanyama are quite hard to follow, this […]
Wings Preview: Three Things to watch as Dallas returns home
The Dallas Wings return home to face the Phoenix Mercury after suffering a 100-76 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday night. Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. at College Park Center. Following the loss to Minnesota, Jose Fernandez said the team needs to have short term memory as it was not their best night. […]
Mock Draft roundup: Consensus forming for Dallas as the Draft nears
The 2026 NBA Draft is just two short weeks away, which means it’s peak smoke screen season for your Dallas Mavericks. Information is coming fast and furious from all over the place, and it’s still very hard to decipher what’s real from what isn’t. One thing that can’t be denied is that there is a […]
Mock offseason: How the Mavericks develop the present and future
When Masai Ujiri was hired he was tasked with a difficult balancing act; build a competent winning team, and set up success in the future. The idea of a full rebuild is sadly impossible due to the lack of draft picks over the next 5 years, and Cooper Flagg’s rapid ascension could mean the desire […]
Three observations as Dallas suffers loss to Minnesota
A 100-76 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday night snapped the Dallas Wings four-game winning streak. The Wings entered the game flying high, sitting near the top of the WNBA standings. However, the Lynx leading the WNBA brought the Wings back down with a double digit loss. Dallas started the first quarter playing well […]
Mavericks have big P.J. Washington decision coming
The Dallas Mavericks are trying to figure out what direction to go in this offseason, especially after the dismissal of head coach Jason Kidd. The decision to move on from Kidd suggests that the Mavericks might be trying to go in a brand new direction, which could lead to a total youth movement that’s led […]
Trade Talk: A potential swap with the 76ers for an MVP and picks
The NBA Draft is right around the corner and the Dallas Mavericks will have at least two picks later this month. If you’ve read our first installment of Trade Talk, you know what it is we’re doing, but if not, the approach is simple. I curate a few trades from the variety of options we […]
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. […]
