Rajon Rondo, Monta Ellis, and Chandler Parsons power the Dallas Mavericks Dallas-- After watching Dirk Nowitzki carry the Dallas Mavericks for 16 years, it is now time for us to face the reality. The team no longer goes as Dirk goes. They have a new younger identity. by  +Rodney Fisher

Photo credit NBA  One the first day of the new season, one day before the Dallas Mavericks start their campaign to return to the NBA playoffs, newly hired GM Gersson Rosas has officially resigned. " I made the personal decision to resign as General Manager of the Dallas Mavericks after determining that the position was not the best fit for me at this point in my career,” said Rosas.  “The decision was made solely by me, as I firmly believe this change is in my best interest.”

Mark Cuban is not a college basketball fan for good reason. "I went to Indiana so I'm a Hoosiers fan", answered Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, when I asked him if he was a college basketball fan. "But I'm not really a college basketball fan during the tournament."

As the the NBA trade deadline approaches, rumors involving the Dallas Mavericks ambitions to trade dominated much of the talk among media members during All-Star weekend in Houston. Mark Cuban was even approached by Maverick fans

As a Dallas Maverick fan, I have to wonder why teams like L.A., Miami, New York, and even Brooklyn can acquire the players that they have under the new collective bargaining agreement, yet a team that has operated well above the salary cap since Mark Cuban took over can not. Those teams have made a decision to operate in the red and a NBA championship is worth it. The new agreement was supposed to level the playing field by requiring a much higher luxury tax for teams over the salary cap. What has happened is the plane between contender and non-contender has grown exponentially. At the start of the 2012-13 season, the number of teams with a legitimate chance of winning it all is few and far between. Struggling franchises are finding it hard to attract top free agents and additional revenue streams to compensate for increasing their payroll. The original thought that low salary cap teams will be the go-to destination if a superstar wants to make big money was totally wrong. Lebron i...

We talked to Jason Terry about his departure from the Dallas Mavericks after 8 years and now going to Boston. Media outlets must credit RF Sports Radio

Jason Terry is excited about the possibility of joining the Boston Celtics for the upcoming season. Talking with Terry we learned that Mark Cuban did call him to inform him that the Mavs will not offer him a qualifying offer. "He called me to say that the Mavs will not be able to offer what any other team could. We will not offer you a deal", says Terry. "Boston will be a good fit for me". Terry is currently focused on his daughter's AAU team as they try to win a National Championship in Orlando. Full interview with Jet will air on Tuesday's show.

Lamar Odom will not get his $14,000 payout for the Mavericks short run in the playoffs. The Mavericks were swept by the young OKC Thunder on Saturday. This comes as no surprise since Odom has not been with the team for quite some time. Click here for Jeff Caplan's Story

Don't miss tomorrow night's show when we will air the Mavericks exit interviews. Hear from Rick Carlisle, Donnie Nelson, Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion, and Jason Kidd on this tumultuous season and the uncertain future.  Click Here To Set Your Reminder

Arriving at the Mavs first official practice today one could easily assume that this team never won a title. A small group of media people  that were all locally based, no ESPN talking heads, and only 10 basketball players made what should be a huge moment for a franchise with it's first Championship seem normal. Other than Shawn Marion's choice of hair color, the most eye catching issue were the players in attendance. Or the lack of players in attendance. During Coach Carlisle's q and a we learned that Brandon Hayward would be the starting center for the reigning champs. Sounds good on the surface until you realize that Tyson Chandler, the best center in Mavs history, is not on this team. He joins the NY Knicks frontcourt that Jason Kidd pointed out is the same the frontcourt that qualified the USA for the Olympics. Ian Mahinmi will be Hayward's back up for now. J.J. Barea, Deshawn Stevenson, Brian Cardinal, Caron Butler and Peja were all missing as well. So much for t...

Mavs beat Lakers 109-100; Kidd comes up Big « dallasmavsblog.com

   Today Caron Butler had season ending surgery to repair a torn patellar tendon in his knee. His last full game with the team he hit 30pts in a loss to the Spurs at home. On the road against the Milwaukee Bucks you can hear him screaming in pain when he hit the knee in the first quarter. You knew then, it was not gonna be good.   Dirk missed his 5th straight game tonight against the Portland Trailblazers, a win by the way. But they have Oklahoma City and Orlando coming up, so will they rush Dirk back? The "Big German" has been a quick healer. The Mavs are only 3 games ahead of the Lakers and Utah right now. The biggest concern has to be falling further behind the Spurs in the division and the conference.   Who will step up now? That is the million dollar question for this team. Deshawn Stevenson had 21pts against the Cavaliers and 18pts tonight. JJ Barea hit 29pts in the loss to the Bucks. Tyson Chandler has back-to-back double doubles in rebounds and points. Jet Terry ...

  Before the Mavs vs Suns game, us media gathered around the excerising outspoken Mark Cuban hoping for more details on his proposed College Playoff system. He said, "I'm suprised about the reaction...more suprised by the emails I recieved. Emails from athletic directors, people that want to help with money,  hey can I get a job with it...or here is my plan I've been working on type stuff." When Jeff Caplan of ESPNDallas.com asked who would pick the teams he said, " I would pick the teams" in a somewhat joking manor. Could Mark really be able to pull this off?
