It started with boos being showered down on him from DFW fans. In the middle came an important 109-102 OT win for the Mavs. But at the end? DB.com was there at the close of the night for a quiet, private interaction between The Worst Mav Ever and The Best Mav Ever. Lamar and Dirk meet in the hallway in Donuts. http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1278430.html 2047 Jonathan Auping http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1278430.html Thu, 28 Mar 2013 11:15:00 GMT 0 268 Dallas mavericks This is going to feel like the meanest thing we've ever written in 14 years of Mavs coverage: 'Strangely enough, in their time in Dallas, Lamar Odom and Troy Murphy almost mirror each other statistically.' Ouch. That hurt! As the Mavs get ready for the Knicks and for another month without Dirk, you are excused for grimacing in pain as you read this Premium analysis: http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1241584.html 2047 Michael Dugat & Fish http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1241584.html Wed, 21 Nov 2012 15:09:00 GMT 1 268 Dallas mavericks We get warm and fuzzy about Mavs contractual cleverness. But there are misunderstandings regarding the Brendan Haywood anmnesty option and ‘spread provision.’ Can that provision help a Haywood-acquiring team with its cash flow? Yes. Does it make him more attractive in a trade or in terms of cap room?

But we've discovered a loophole. Involved is negotiating with Odom for a revised deadline date - and sources tell DB.com that the Mavs have initiated talks to do just that. Here's the inside story of what's up - and what can happen as the Mavs work to turn Odom into a perfect-fit trade asset: http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1193046.html 2047 David Lord & Mike Fisher http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1193046.html Thu, 07 Jun 2012 22:23:00 GMT 0 268 Dallas mavericks The Mavs are now on record as viewing Lamar Odom's contract as a 'very desireable' trade asset. That's the trigger for us to play 'Amateur GM' and to construct concepts featuring Josh Smith, Pau Gasol or Paul Pierce. What's pie-in-the-sky? What's 'very desireable'?

No worries, Dirk. We're DB.com.

In the end, the final hero-heaves from Jet and Dirk went awry and old friend Devin joined Big Al in doing damage. Final score 123-121. In a 36-hour period, the Mavs played 116 minutes of basketball and have no wins to show for it.

In the end, we understand why Dallas passed on dumping L.O. then. Odom is gone now, too late, and the only thing the Mavs get in return is ... 'deadline-day regret' and 'non-seller's remorse.' http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1175633.html 2047 Fish & David Lord http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1175633.html Mon, 09 Apr 2012 19:44:00 GMT 0 268 Dallas mavericks It was 5:59 p.m. Dirk was shooting in the basement. DoJo was doing sprints on the AAC floor. Monte Mathis was scribbling gameplan notes on the locker room greaseboard. Friday’s game against Portland was 91 minutes away from tipoff, and at 5:59 – the middle of the workday for the rest of the Mavs – Lamar Odom came strolling into work. And today, he’s been sent strolling out. http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1175538.html 2047 Mike Fisher http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1175538.html Mon, 09 Apr 2012 14:00:00 GMT 0 268 Dallas mavericks The Mavs are 3-20 when trailing after three quarters. Two of those rare instances have come in their last two wins, including Wednesday's critical 95-85 win over Memphis. We'll handle all the details as we go, but first how about an individual honor?

Clippers 94, Mavs 75 is, in our judgment, the poorest performance coughed up by the defending champs all year.

But we review them with the awareness of the Friday outcome in Orlando, a finish that saw this team show us something new this year: the desire to fight when the game is assumed lost. Let’s look into the reasons to doubt and dig for the justification of hope.

Is this cathartic or honesty or infinite pain? Or it is a shameless use of existential philosophy as a shield against criticism? That I don't know. But ‘burying a baby’? As I just told Odom in our 1-on-1 visit at Mavs HQ, I remember ‘Baby Scott’ inside the tiny coffin and yes, I’ve buried a baby, too. http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1170928.html 2047 Mike Fisher http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1170928.html Mon, 26 Mar 2012 15:07:00 GMT 0 268 Dallas mavericks
