Will Dirk Nowitzki be this summer's Kevin Garnett, or maybe next February's Pau Gasol? Stay with the premise for a second. This is not to suggest that the Mavericks are on the verge of trading their franchise player. It's just suggesting that at some point in the future, Dallas may have to ...

... over his benching on Saturday against the Celtics. Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavs are in Milwaukee to face the Bucks, the team that drafted, then traded away Nowitzki's rights. As a native of Milwaukee, I've often argued that the Bucks already had a Big Dog (Glenn Robinson) roaming around at the three, but as time goes on, I grow misty at the thought of Nowitzki in green and red. One can always hope . Meanwhile, in L.A., it looks as if Kobe will give the finger (albeit the ring finger) to pain and ...
Cuban: 'I'm Not Trading Josh'

... Tayshaun Prince or for Charlotte’s Gerald Wallace (who earlier this season was judged by Dallas to be slightly inferior to Josh) or someone willing to work his ass off to be a second, third or fourth fiddle. One aspect of this that can only be answered by the people inside the room (and unlike the way the Cowboys do it, should NOT be addressed to questioners from outside the room): Is Josh Howard a drain on others, a burden on his teammates, a life-sucker in the room? When we see Art Garcia’s NBA.com piece full of its negative hints about locker-room dissatisfaction, we tend ...

Now in July of 2009 you can look forward to David Stern saying "With the 14th pick in the 2009 NBA draft the Dallas Mavericks select _____." Not all because of Diop, but his signing is one of the major problems this year. Good stuff, Mike. Keep it coming. Art Garcia speculates about the end of the Dirk Era … If Mark Cuban's team ...
Carlisle's Ego? E-Gone

... result: Four straight victories in which Dallas is averaging 109.3 ppg and shooting 54.4 percent. “ We believe in one another,'' said Kidd, ``We believe defensively and offensively that we can go out there and get some wins. The guys are playing at a high level and we are having fun.’’ So it’s all Kidd and his play-calling and a comfort zone. No ego from his coach. *Dirk Nowitzki has been in an on-court comfort zone almost all season. But remember Art Garcia’s NBA.com report of some Dirk-related unrest in Carlisle’s locker room? Art – a former Mavs employee – wasn’t trying to ...

... that he and his people will be problem-solvers and has little tolerance for the problem-causers. He reaches out to people (remember last summer? Going to Germany to bond with Dirk, going to North Carolina to bond with Josh, going to New York to bond with Kidd?) but he does so for business reasons, not in pursuit of drinking buddies. As a young man, he enrolled in a Dale Carnegie course. We’re left to assume that he wasn’t the valedictorian. 8 Dirk’s willingness to leave Dallas “if’’: This January 21 story from Art Garcia (formerly a Mavs beat writer now with NBA.com) might ...
