JASON TERRY, "MARK CUBAN CALLED ME TO SAY..."
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.

STEVE NASH IS A LA LAKER; 3 YEARS $25 MILLION
Words are only words...right. After Steve Nash gave a radio interview saying that he was "old school" and thought it would be to hard to wear a Lakers jersey, he will now join the team next season.
Nash, a two-time NBA MVP, will replace Ramon Sessions who opted out of his final year to pursue free agency. This will definitely help the Lakers stay title contenders in the Western Conference.
Nash turned down a lucrative deal from his home country Toronto Raptors of $36 million for the same 3 years. Lakers acquire Nash through sign and trade with Phoenix using a trade exception from Lamar Odom's deal.
Nash was also being pursued by his old team the Dallas Mavericks, NY Knicks, and Miami Heat also.

Mark Cuban, Mavs decide to keep Lamar Odom's Playoff Payout
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

Carlisle wants all the blame for Game 1 loss
Up by 7 with less than 2 minutes left on the road in game 1 of a playoff series against the most athletic team in the NBA sounds like a steal for the oldest team in the league, but no. On a last second shot by Kevin Durant, NBA scoring champion for a third straight year, the Thunder get the win. The shot was well contested by Shawn Marion, but got a lucky bounce. Dirk Nowitzki turned the ball over in the last minute to give the Thunder a break-away slam to give them a 1 point lead before Dirk hit two clutch free throws. In short, a lot of different story lines to the game and it's outcome, but head coach Rick Carlisle wants all the blame.During the post game press conference, Carlisle did not shy away from the criticism and even put more on himself. "We should have double teamed [Durant] and got the ball out his hands...blame me", he stated. He is probably right, but hard to argue the defense Shawn Marion played on Durant making the shot as difficult as it was. More of the blame should go the coach for not having a timeout left after he made the shot. There was 1.5 seconds on the clock which in basketball is enough time get a good shot off after advancing the ball. Knowing that he did not have a timeout left, maybe there should have been a set play to run to get the ball in hands of a better shooter than Shawn Marion. The Thunder assumed that Dallas would take a timeout and did not react to the inbound pass until mid-court.
After taking the blame, Carlisle reminded us of the one thing that his Maverick team has over every team in the playoffs this year; age. The Mavericks are the most veteran team in the league, even more than San Antonio and Boston. He says his guys will battle back and "keep coming...guns blazing every game". They have been threw these type of situations before in 12 start years in the playoffs.LIVE from #LoudCity for Mavs vs Thunder Game 1 - Pregame Report
It is playoff time...
The feel in the Mavs locker room was anxiety as the players awaited the start of the real season. Delonte West after suffering a stomach illness will play. Dirk chose to skip the locker room media invasion to shoot hoops in front of the Thunder crowd with Brad Davis. James Harden did the same thing getting ready for his first game back from a concussion.
The stage is set. The players are ready. The season for the Mavs starts now...

Mavs cut ties with Lamar Odom
After a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night, the Mavericks staff decided it was time to part ways with Lamar Odom. They spent Easter Sunday working on the conditions of his release. Odom did release this statement to ESPNDallas.com, "The Mavericks and I have mutually agreed that it's in the best interest of both parties for me to step away from the team. I'm sorry that things didn't work out better for both of us, but I wish the Mavs' organization, my teammates and Dallas fans nothing but continued success in the defense of their championship."
At this point, Lamar will not be eligible to play on any team's playoff roster. It should be noted that the Mavs are 0-7 when Lamar has not played, but they have lost their share of games when he has.

Kobe Bryant on Lamar Odom, "I hope they don't unlock that mystery. I know how to use him..."
"He comes to a team that's pretty much set. It's hard for him to find his niche and the fans, they don't really understand what he does or how he can do it."
The fans expressed their feelings for Lamar's troubled season with boo's.
"I hope they don't unlock that...unlock that mystery. I know, I know how to use him and use his skill set and this, that and the other, but with this team and the roster that [they] have being pretty much set its tough for him to find...to find his groove."
"It's tough because like I said they have their niche, they have their run, they have their execute, they have their group of core guys and Lamar is not a player you just plug in. I mean you feature him. Like we featured him terms of his ball handling and post up ability and things like that."

Interview: Rodrique Beaubois - Is Roddy B the key to a Mavs repeat
During coach Rick Carlisle's post game press conference he applauded Roddy for his good play. "This was his best game ever here..." He played 28 minutes and had a stat line of 19 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block as the Mavs beat the Wizards 107 - 98. We caught up with Roddy B to see he felt the same way.
Beaubois: I don't know, I'm not sure...best game maybe for him, but I don't think so.
RF Sports Radio: Coach said in the press conference that this was your best game here. Do you feel that way?
Beaubois: Best game here...as a Maverick?
RF Sports Radio: Yeah...
Beaubois: I don't know, I'm not sure...best game maybe for him, but I don't think so.RF Sports Radio: He was saying as far as the offensive decisions you made, defensively, moving the ball around; he basically liked the way you played tonight. Now, how do you stay consistent for the rest of the season?
Beaubois: The challenge is to stay consistent. I want to take the challenge because I have been going up and down and I really have to work on the test of playing consistent every night. So that [is] going to be the challenge for me now.
RF Sports Radio: Do you feel like this team the way it is constructed now can gel together in time to make another deep run in the playoffs?
Beaubois: We know we have the team to contend. We haven't played good lately, so we have to turn the page and start with this victory. We won tonight and we have to win again.
Here the full interview on tomorrow night on the show at 10pm CST.
Jason Terry feels a Mavs deal for Dwight Howard is too good to pass up
"Next day and a half is going to say a lot" commented Jet after a Mavs win last night. "Say we win it this year. Your not going to bring eight guys back....same position as now".
The position the Mavs are in all rides on free agency in the upcoming offseason. Mark Cuban as not offered any players, including Jet Terry, a contract extension.
"Until Dwight makes a decision everybody is going to think that....I keep watching the ticker seeing the Mavericks still have a chance to get him. Why would you pass up that opportunity?"
Mavericks try to quiet trade rumors
With the March 15th deadline rapidly approaching, smoke usually means fire with trade rumors. None bigger than the biggest trade available with Dwight Howard and Deron Williams.
The buzz at the AAC last night centered around the missing Roddy Beaubois and Lamar Odom. Both were officially listed out for family reasons. The Mavericks have been actively shopping Roddy to see what the potential of a quick guard can get on the open market. Anyone bringing Roddy to their team would be looking primarily at potential only, since head coach Rick Carlisle barely gives him minutes. Rumors began to circulate through the halls of the sold out arena.

Rumors began to circulate through the halls of the sold out arena.Questions regarding our information were repeatedly denied by Mavericks personnel, but what else is expected. All teams are playing it close to the vest during All-star weekend which ironically takes place in the house that Dwight built in Orlando.
The more shocking development was a tweet from reality TV star, and wife of Lamar Odom, Khloe Kardashian that she was battling a stomach ailment. Could that be reason enough to miss the last game before a long break against your former team that traded you for essentially nothing? If so, a trade may be a welcomed reality.
