This podcast breaks down every angle of Mavs basketball - from game recaps and player performances to trade rumors, roster moves, and long-term team outlooks. Listeners can expect honest analysis, timely reaction to breaking news, and big-picture conversations that go beyond the box score. Each episode aims to give passionate Mavs fans the insight and context they need to stay informed and engaged throughout the NBA season and beyond. Whether you are tuning in right after a thrilling win, a tough loss, or a major news drop, listen episodes of this podcast to hear thoughtful discussion, strong opinions, and a Mavs-focused perspective you will not find anywhere else.

On this episode, Coach Drew and I talk about the Dallas Mavericks giving head coach Jason Kidd a contract extension that will take him through at least the 2027-28 NBA season. Despite some of his quirks that draw criticism from Mavs fans on social media at times, Kidd has done a great job overall during his time as head coach in Dallas and deserves this extension. We go into detail on why that is on today’s episode. Also... we discuss a potentially controversial topic. Which player will end up being easier for the Mavs to build a roster around: Cooper Flagg or Luka Doncic?
