DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks announced today that they have acquired four-time All-Star Rajon Rondo and center Dwight Powell from the Boston Celtics in exchange for center Brandan Wright, forward Jae Crowder, guard Jameer Nelson, a 2015 first-round pick and a 2016 second-round pick. Rondo (6-1, 186) is an eight-year guard who has spent his […]
Brandan Wright continued his ridiculously hot start to the season this week. The backup big man has reached double-figures in seven consecutive games and eight of the last night. Factoring in last night’s loss in Houston, the Mavs are now 9-1 on the season when Wright scores 10 or more in a game. The statistical […]
Barring injury, Mavs superstar Dirk Nowitzki will soon be seventh on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. The German has done it perhaps more efficiently than any other player in the top-10 and undoubtedly is one of the best players in the league’s history. But for all the pomp and circumstance surrounding Nowitzki’s steady climb up […]
Each member of the Mavs’ three-headed monster at center has a very specific role. Sam Dalembert starts, sets hard screens, grabs rebounds at both ends, and protects the rim.

Take a trip down memory lane with me for just a moment. Let’s go back and start in 1988 … the year the Mavs made it to the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers. At that point it was the deepest Dallas had ever been in the playoffs. James Donaldson and Roy Tarpley patrolled the […]
DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks announced today they have re-signed forward/center Brandan Wright. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. Wright (6-10, 210) joined the Mavericks via free agency on December 9, 2011. In two seasons with Dallas, Wright has played in 113 games and elevated his game in 2012-13 when he […]
DALLAS — Nearly every time Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle called upon center-forward Brandan Wright during the 2012-13 season the young big man seemed to be ready. Building off his first year in Dallas and appearing in a career-high 64 games while making 16 starts this season, Wright would take advantage of his time on […]
