MAVERICKS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Are the Mavs done with Beaubois?

France has produced some solid NBA players. Tony Parker, Nicolas Batum, Rony Turiaf and Ian Mahinmi are perhaps more of the notable French-born players and one of them who gets lost in the shuffle is Dallas Mavericks' Rodrigue Beaubois. There is no doubt he can fill the basket (he's nicknamed "Roddy Buckets" for a reason). The lightning quick guard for Dallas has...

Dallas Mavericks Basketball – Dirk Nowitzki Style

Monday may have been Presidents Day, legally, but in the City of Dallas, Tx, it was dubbed “Milestone Monday” for the Dallas Mavericks. After a heart-breaking loss to the New York Knicks on Sunday afternoon, the Dallas Mavericks flew back home for some much-needed rest to prepare for a back to back game against the Boston Celtics on Monday night. Even though the Celtics...

Kobe Takes A Page Out Of Dirk’s Playbook

Last night Kobe Bryant did his best Dirk Nowitzki impression, using the Dallas Mavericks’ go-to “one-legged, fade away” jumper against Wesley Matthews of the Portland Trail  Blazers. It was a nice shot, but in typical Kobe fashion he then went over to Reggie Miller to let he and the rest of the commentators know that even though it was Dirk’s move, his was...

Roddy Beaubois Could Be Moved At The Trade Deadline

The Dallas Mavericks are more than likely going to trade guard Roddy Beaubois either before or at the March 15 NBA trade deadline. ESPN.com’s Chris Broussard says the Mavericks are about ready to move on from Beaubois after he lost his point guard spot to Delonte West while Jason Kidd was injured. Beaubois has a lot of upside but it is almost time for Dallas and Beaubois to...

Dirk Nowitzki Rounding Into Form

Source Dirk Nowitzki is beginning to find a rhythm. After starting the season slowly, he's taken time off and looks to be performing better as a result. Dirk Nowitzki is averaging 30 PPG in his last two contests (though he was inefficient last night vs. Boston) and the Mavs are going to him with regularity. What does Dirk Nowitzki need to do to continue performing better?...

Marion looks to put an end to Linsanity

Dallas Mavericks forward Shawn Marion was in the locker room watching television and despite the fact that he just led his team to a blowout victory over Denver, the only accessory he was wearing to go along with his bathrobe is a scowl. In one ear, Marion heard the sports news program trumpeting yet another of the nightly accomplishments of New York Knicks phenom Jeremy Lin. In...

Yikes! Lamar Odom is an awful singer (Video)

Lamar Odom may be 6’10″ and outrageously talented as a basketball player, but one skill he is lacking is the ability to sing. In this video posted by the Dallas Mavericks’ official YouTube account (by way of I am a GM), Odom sings ABC by The Jackson 5. He’s so off-tune it would have been difficult to know what he was singing if he didn’t tell us. One thing we know...

Veteran Kidd likes Rubio's unselfishness

MINNEAPOLIS Jason Kidd fastened the top button of his pressed pink dress shirt on Friday night, smoothing the non-existent creases and addressing the media with an ease few players ever achieve. The 38-year-old point guard returned to the Mavericks' lineup on Friday after missing six games with a strained right calf, but many of the questions directed at him postgame had little...
