This week’s Dallas Mavericks fan polling had two easy questions about the progression of the offseason. Since we’re all but wrapped up with the moves that matter, it seemed a good time to take the temperature of the team’s performance. The first question asked if the Dallas Maverick did enough in free agency.

The highlight of the latest iteration of the annual Las Vegas Summer League occurred Thursday night when Cooper Flagg and Bronny James traded buckets at Thomas & Mack Center. The highly anticipated matchup between the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers drew a star-studded crowd.

Flagg’s first points as a pro came on a slam dunk with less than five minutes to go in the first quarter. The Mavericks guard finished with 10 points, six rebounds and eight assists in his debut. He played 32 minutes, making 5 of 21 field goals, missing all five of his three-point attempts.

Mark Cuban may have teased another reason at the NBA Summer League on Thursday. According to Noah Weber of the Smoking Cuban, Cuban talked about Dereck Lively II shooting 2-3 three-pointers per game next season, which would allow them to play with five-out offense.

The Mavericks' roster for 2025 opening night appears to be set. But are they confident in their PG situation amid Kyrie Irving's injury?

Hill got a close look at Flagg's competitive edge last summer when USA Basketball invited the then-high school phenom to practice with the Select Team ahead of the Paris Olympics. As managing director of the program, Hill watched Flagg hold his own against NBA players -- a rare opportunity for a teenager.

Megan Thee Stallion is reportedly hot to trot with Dallas Mavericks star Klay Thompson. After the NBA star made a casual appearance in the “WAP” rapper’s sizzling poolside photo shoot, which she shared to Instagram Wednesday, TMZ reported that the pair are indeed an item and are “dating.”

On Wednesday the NBA announced the group drawings for the 2025 in-season tournament known as the NBA Cup. The NBA teams are split into six groups of five teams, the Mavericks landing in the West B group along with the LA Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Pelicans and, of course, Luka Doncic and the LA Lakers.

The Dallas Mavericks finally filled their coaching vacancies on Wednesday, with the hiring of the sixth and final coach. That coach is a three-time NBA All-Star.
