Owners and coaches (mostly former coaches) have had some very interesting things to say about a number of different topics over the past week or so, and today was no different. The ever-vocal Mavericks owner Mark Cuban had plenty to say about his former point guard and the point guard he almost had. See what was said, along with other notable quotes from various players and coaches in today’s news: Mark Cuban is very upset about the way Jason Kidd left
Earlier this week, our Mark Heisler reported that the Orlando Magic would be willing to wait until next summer to trade Dwight Howard if that is what it takes to get fair value for the superstar center. It’s hard to imagine Howard even coming to training camp with the Magic, let alone playing the entire season in Orlando, where he is slightly more popular than George Zimmerman and Casey Anthony. But what if he did? The NBA schedule was released Thursday, and more

I know, technically, this isn’t an NBA Draft trade, but technically, it is a “draft day” trade. So we’ll go ahead and file it here.

After lasting only about four months in Dallas, the Mavericks are working hard to find a deal for him. As of late Thursday night, there were conflicting
When Skip Bayless talks, most people take it with a grain of salt, to put it mildly. A few days ago, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban expressed his displeasure of having to listen to him, saying his 2-year-old son can spit better knowledge about the NBA than Bayless.
The two best words in sports are Game Seven. When it comes to the NBA Finals, Game 5 isn’t too bad, either. Either one team has a 3-1 lead, which means the trailing team will scratch, claw, bite, fight and cheat to stay win. Or the teams are tied 2-2, which means both teams will scratch, claw, bite, fight and cheat to win. Our collection of the best Game Five showdowns of the David Stern Era includes three in which the series was
If you live in an area other than Dallas, Texas, you probably are not aware that if the Mavericks had brought back their team of a year ago, they would have won their second consecutive NBA title.
