Dirk Nowitzki's intention to take a "significant pay cut" next summer will be part of the Dallas Mavericks' sales pitch in July as they attempt to sign a superstar in free agency.

Let's focus on the long shots and forget about the miracles for now. In other words, stop dreaming about the Mavs signing Chris Paul and Dwight Howard this summer. That isn't happening unless one or both of them agree to take much, much, much less...

DALLAS -- The Mavericks are a much better-looking team Monday. The .500 beards aren't all gone, but they're much better manicured, at least in most cases. Center Chris Kaman is the exception, as is often the case. He didn't shave a single hair on ...

NEW ORLEANS -- It took the Dallas Mavericks 121 days to get back to .500. It took Dirk Nowitzki maybe 90 seconds to get rid of the beard he has been growing for most of that time. "That shave felt amazing," Nowitzki said after a 107-89 victory ...

Mark Cuban apparently was shooting straight when he declared that the Mavericks almost pulled the trigger on a blockbuster deal before the trade deadline. In fact, it appears he was speaking "The Truth," aka Paul Pierce. According to a Yahoo! S...

DALLAS - Mark Cuban has insisted since their arrival this summer that he's looking for reasons to commit to Darren Collison and O.J. Mayo as the backcourt of the Mavericks' future. The film from Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers certainly wo...

Mavericks point guard Darren Collison, who has often been a clutch spectator this season, dominated crunch time Friday night. Collison led the way as the Mavs slammed the door on the Suns. He had seven points, three assists, two rebounds, one stea...

Can any of the rumored teams in the mix for DeMarcus Cousins make a better offer than the Mavericks? Not according to the numbers crunched by ESPN Insider Kevin Pelton, who ranked potential trade packages based on Wins Above Replacement Players (W...

How it happened: The Dallas Mavericks fell behind early and never could quite catch up in Dirk Nowitzki's home debut for the 2012-13 season. The Nuggets dominated Dallas on the boards and the Mavericks' defense did not have an answer for Danilo Ga...
