    REPORT: Why Masai Ujiri Fired Jason Kidd | Dallas Mavericks Rumors

    A new Marc Stein report says Masai Ujiri alone made the call to fire Jason Kidd in the name of starting over, and one year after Nico Harrison’s firing the Dallas Mavericks have a clear new direction under Dusty May. Was moving on from Jason Kidd the right move for the Mavs, Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving and the team’s NBA future? Nick Angstadt breaks down why Mavs Team President Masai Ujiri wanted a college coach who would live in the gym, and why Dusty May fits the culture Ujiri is building. He explains why Cooper Flagg and Morez Johnson Jr. are the foundation of that culture, how Ujiri and Mavs GM Mike Schmitz chose this franchise, and how the Anthony Davis trade fits the reset. Plus, where the Mavs stand in the NBA Cup odds behind the San Antonio Spurs, Boston Celtics and Oklahoma City Thunder, tied with the Detroit Pistons.     Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs Hit Facebook: Locked On Mavs Hit Instagram | Locked On Mavs Hit Tiktok | Locked On Mavs Hit Twitter | Locked On Mavs Hit     📲 Follow Nick Twitter | @NickVanExit TikTok | NickVanExit Instagram | @NickVanExit     Daily Podcast: Locked On Mavericks with Nick & Isaac Harris 📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     Join the Everydayer Club: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/         📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

    Why Dusty May's Rotation Changed for the Mavs

    Max Christie, Zaccharie Risacher and Marcus Sasser are losing minutes in the Dallas Mavericks rotation as Caleb Martin, Santi Aldama and Walter Clayton Jr. take bigger roles around Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving. What’s driving the Mavs rotation changes this NBA season, and what does Dusty May’s play-well-or-sit approach mean for minutes going forward? Nick Angstadt breaks down the minutes trends for Max Christie, Zaccharie Risacher and Marcus Sasser, from Christie playing 30 minutes a night early to 5 minutes against the Indiana Pacers. He explains why Caleb Martin’s defense and connectivity in the Kyrie Irving–Naji Marshall pick and roll keep him on the floor, how Santi Aldama’s return next to Morez Johnson Jr. and Daniel Gafford set off a ripple effect, and how Walter Clayton Jr. took Sasser’s spot. Nick also covers the Mavs’ NBA Cup group odds.     Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs Hit Facebook: Locked On Mavs Hit Instagram | Locked On Mavs Hit Tiktok | Locked On Mavs Hit Twitter | Locked On Mavs Hit     📲 Follow Nick Twitter | @NickVanExit TikTok | NickVanExit Instagram | @NickVanExit     Daily Podcast: Locked On Mavericks with Nick & Isaac Harris 📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     Join the Everydayer Club: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/         📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

    TRADES: Why the Dallas Mavericks Should Be Buyers at the NBA Trade Deadline

    The Dallas Mavericks should be buyers, not sellers, at the NBA trade deadline. Cooper Flagg is playing like a top 15 NBA player and Kyrie Irving is ahead of schedule in his return from an ACL injury. What Mavs trade could land another scorer, and why is there no reason for the Dallas Mavericks to tank when their pick is top-2 protected to the Charlotte Hornets? Nick Angstadt explains why the Mavs should combine contracts like Zaccharie Risacher’s, Max Christie’s, Caleb Martin’s and Marcus Sasser’s into a deadline trade for a scorer instead of chasing a Big 3 with Daniel Gafford and PJ Washington as salary. He looks at what Walter Clayton Jr., Naji Marshall and Santi Aldama do and don’t bring as dribble-pass-shoot options, and why a player like Coby White fits. Nick also covers the Mavs’ NBA Cup West Group A odds against the Denver Nuggets.       Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs Hit Facebook: Locked On Mavs Hit Instagram | Locked On Mavs Hit Tiktok | Locked On Mavs Hit Twitter | Locked On Mavs Hit     📲 Follow Nick Twitter | @NickVanExit TikTok | NickVanExit Instagram | @NickVanExit     Daily Podcast: Locked On Mavericks with Nick & Isaac Harris 📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     Join the Everydayer Club: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/         📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

    Santi Aldama Is Opening Up Everything For The Dallas Mavericks Bench

    Santi Aldama is back for the Dallas Mavericks, and his floor spacing, ball handling and competitive fire are opening up the Mavs bench alongside Morez Johnson Jr. and Naji Marshall. Is the 7-footer the piece that makes this NBA roster work around Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving, and was he worth the protected first-round pick? Nick Angstadt breaks down Santi Aldama’s 12-point night against the Brooklyn Nets, how the Aldama-Morez Johnson Jr. pairing changes the geometry of the second unit, and where Walter Clayton Jr., Zaccharie Risacher and Caleb Martin fit in. Nick also shares Dusty May’s “psycho competitor” quote about Aldama and the media day story about Aldama and Cooper Flagg’s on-court history. Plus, how PJ Washington, Naji Marshall and the Mavs feed off that competitive fire, and whether this team can climb into the top six in the West.      Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs Hit Facebook: Locked On Mavs Hit Instagram | Locked On Mavs Hit Tiktok | Locked On Mavs Hit Twitter | Locked On Mavs Hit     📲 Follow Nick Twitter | @NickVanExit TikTok | NickVanExit Instagram | @NickVanExit     Daily Podcast: Locked On Mavericks with Nick & Isaac Harris 📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     Join the Everydayer Club: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/         📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     Kalshi Today's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

Nick Angstadt breaks down Cooper Flagg’s answers to Christian Clark and Leslie McCaslin, why his praise for the Mavs strength and medical staff matters, and how Flagg went from scorer to playmaker against the Nets. Nick also explains why Daniel Gafford’s 18 points and his trip to the podium with Flagg are notable, and how Flagg bringing PJ Washington and others along mirrors what he did with Kon Knueppel and Khaman Maluach in college.

    Morez Johnson Jr. broke out for the Dallas Mavericks against the Utah Jazz with 13 points, 17 rebounds and 10 offensive rebounds in his first NBA game without a minutes restriction.
