The Mavericks will go into next season with a pretty good team. No, not a championship-contending team, but at least a club that will compete for the playoffs and should make the playoffs because Rick Carlisle is a good coach.
Plus, the quick overhaul is not just about now. There are possibilities for the future with [...]

USA Today – At least Lamar Odom’s marriage to the Dallas Mavericks lasted longer than his sister-in-law’s marriage to Kris Humphries.
The Mavericks and Lamar Odom will go their separate ways according to a report at ESPNDallas.com.
Lamar Odom will play at least one game in the NBA Development League before rejoining the Dallas Mavericks.
The Mavericks said Friday that Odom had been assigned to the Texas Legends. He will be in uniform for the D-League team’s home game in Frisco on Saturday night.
Odom last played for the Mavericks on Feb. 20. He missed their last game before the All-Star break against his former team, the Los Angeles Lakers, and two more games this week. The Mavericks say he has been away due to a family matter.

Amar’e Stoudemire is an afterthought, and Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler are hurt.
So meet the new “Big Three” of the New York Knicks – Jeremy Lin, J.R. Smith and Steve Novak.
The trio combined to lead the Knicks to a nationally televised 104-97 victory over the defending champion Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, their eight win in nine games.

Although it may seem like it was in another millennium, it was just over two weeks ago. Now, their biggest problem right now appears to be getting everyone healthy and figuring out how the original “Big Three” can play with the new “Big Three.”

When the Dallas Mavericks make their highly-anticipated trip to the White House Monday, Delonte West will not accompany them. West is, in his words, “banned” from making the visit because of his criminal past.
“I’m banned from going to the White House, so I’m not going to make it,’’ West said after Saturday’s game. “But I’m going home to D.C., I’m just not allowed to go to the White House.
“That’s what happens when you make bad decisions in your life. You can’t go to the White House,” he told the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram.
West pleaded guilty to a weapons and traffic charge last July. He was pulled over on his motorcycle in 2009 and police found three weapons in a guitar case he was carrying. The arrest led to a 10-game suspension from the NBA, and West has since sought help and been treated for mental issues.

Peja Stojakovic, one of the best shooters in NBA history, has announced that he will be retiring from the NBA at the age of 34 and after 13 seasons. Stojakovic, a three-time all-star, won a championship with the Dallas Mavericks in 2011, his first and only season with the Mavs and also Stojakovic’s first trip to the NBA Finals:
Stojakovic told ESPN.com on Monday that the physical toll caused by a string of back and neck troubles, at age 34, convinced the three-time All-Star that “it’s time” to step away from the game despite interest from a handful of contenders in signing the sharpshooter away from the Mavericks.
