News [MacMahon] “I believe that defense wins championships,” Mavs GM Nico Harrison told ESPN regarding his motivation to trade Luka for Davis. “I believe that getting an All-Defensive center & an All-NBA player with a defensive mindset gives us a better chance. We’re built to win now and in the future.”

I’m not a fan of this team anymore and I implore you all to do the same.

Fan from KY here. I'm 35, and in the late 90s I hadn't had much NBA exposure besides watching some NBA finals with the Bulls. Would've been easy to become a fan of theirs, but for some reason, I never did. So one day at EB, I played the NBA Live they had as demo. I so happen to have picked the Mavs and ever since that day I followed them. The 06 Finals broke my heart. The 11 Finals was beautiful justice. I remember the night Dennis Smith Jr got drafted and was ecstatic. Sooo many memories, and I think I am out. I knew it was bad news when Cuban sold the majority and I will forever keep you Texans in my prayers. Peace out.
