Watch: Draymond Green comes up with clutch block in fourth quarter vs. Mavs

Draymond Green came up with a must-see clutch block in the final minutes against the Mavs to help the Warriors secure their fifth straight win.

While six members scored in double figures, the Golden State Warriors defense secured a 104-100 victory over the Dallas Mavericks to extend their win streak to five straight on Tuesday.

Draymond Green anchored Golden State’s defense, limiting Luka Doncic and the Mavericks to 100 points. With the game tight in the fourth quarter, Green came up with a must-see block in the final minutes to help the Warriors close out the Mavericks.

After Kyrie Irving dished a smooth pass to Daniel Gafford in the key, Green met the Mavericks center at the rim, rejecting his attempt to cut the Warriors’ lead to four.

Via @NBAonTNT on X:

Green finished the game with 11 points, eight rebounds, six assists, four steals and a block in 31 minutes against the Mavericks. Andrew Wiggins scored a team-high 23 points.

Along with snapping the Mavericks’ seven-game win streak, the Warriors defense limited Dallas to its lowest scoring output since January.

Report: Mavericks, Sixers not interested in Nets’ Kyrie Irving

Reports indicate that the 76ers and Mavericks are not interested in a trade for Nets’ Kyrie Irving.

The list of teams willing to part with assets for Kyrie Irving is short, and despite reports that both the Dallas Mavericks and Philadelphia 76ers are a potential landing spot for Irving, neither team is particularly interested in making a deal happen.

NBA writer Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report reports that sources confirm that Dallas and Philadelphia’s interest in Irving is not as high as expected. He confirms that both the 76ers and Mavs have discussed hypothetical trades but league sources “strongly discounted” their interests in the seven-time All-Star.

This comes just days after a report that the Los Angeles Lakers have not been aggressively pursuing Irving. Despite LeBron James hoping for a reunion with Irving, the team has made zero traction towards a move.

The Brooklyn Nets seem to be patient, waiting for the right trade for either of their disgruntled All-Stars. The team is steadfast in waiting for a trade package that brings another All-Star, a plethora of young talent, or even a slate of draft picks.

76ers, Heat and Mavericks ‘poked around’ Kyrie Irving sign-and-trade

Reports indicate that the 76ers, Heat and Mavericks had poked around for trade scenarios to acquire Kyrie Irving from the Brooklyn Nets.

With Kyrie Irving finally opting-in to his Brooklyn Nets contract, rumors indicate that three teams were “poking around” with sign-and-trade scenarios were the Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks.

NBA insider Shams Charania reports that the three teams looking into their rosters for a viable trade package were the 76ers, the Heat and the Mavs.

“Reports indicate that the 76ers, Heat and Mavericks had poked around for trade scenarios to acquire Kyrie Irving from the Brooklyn Nets,” said Charania. “But at the end of the day, he made a move where he said, ‘I’m gonna commit. I’m gonna go back to Brooklyn, I’m gonna opt-in.”

Charania made the report on the Pat McAfee Show, just a day following the news that Irving would opt-in for his final year with the Nets.

While rumors circulate that the Lakers haven’t stopped pursuing the seven-time All Star, Irving is still a topic of discussion for some teams around the league. The 76ers, Heat and Mavericks were reportedly the teams who looked into their rosters. The teams considered their trade packages for the former NBA champion.

Who knows if trade rumors for Kyrie Irving will ever be over, but for now it seems like the guard will stay in Brooklyn.

Report: Mavs interested in Brooklyn Nets’ Goran Dragić

Brooklyn Nets backup point guard Goran Dragić is drawing interest from the Dallas Mavericks.

Brooklyn Nets backup point guard Goran Dragic is drawing interest from the Dallas Mavericks who intend to sign him in free agency.

With the NBA free agency right around the corner, Nets fans should be worried as the time for the team to retain some of their talent is dwindling. Across the roster there are nine players approaching free agency with some options, making the organization consider what players they absolutely want to return.

Read: Nets Wire’s free agency predictions for nine Brooklyn Nets.

NBA insider Marc Stein reported that the Mavs are intending to pursue the Slovenian point guard. With the team desperately needing more help on the wing, Dragić can alleviate the workload for superstar Luka Dončić.

Dragić was a great addition to the roster but didn’t necessarily get to shine for the team. He only participated in 16 games throughout the season, averaging six points and nearly five assists in less than 25 minutes.

Un fan de los Suns sacó sus frustraciones sobre el Juego 7 contra los Mavs con una divertida paliza en ‘2K’

Los Phoenix Suns fueron el único equipo de la NBA en ganar estos, al menos, 60 partidos de esta temporada, así que muy pocos hubieran esperado que esta temporada terminaría en terreno local con una de las peores derrotas en el Juego 7 de la historia …

Los Phoenix Suns fueron el único equipo de la NBA en ganar estos, al menos, 60 partidos de esta temporada, así que muy pocos hubieran esperado que esta temporada terminaría en terreno local con una de las peores derrotas en el Juego 7 de la historia de la NBA. Pero eso es justo lo que pasó.

La derrota 123-90 contra los Mavericks fue tan desmoralizante para los fans de los Suns que todos tuvieron que encontrar su propia forma de lidiar con la derrota. Mientras que muchas de esas frustraciones estaban dirigidas hacia Deandre Ayton, Chris Paul y Devin Booker, un fan encontró la forma de obtener su venganza sobre los Mavs.

O algo así.

Traducción: Este fan de los Suns sacó sus frustraciones con los Mavs en 2K tras la derrota en el Juego 7 de anoche.

 

Un usuario de TikTok pasó un video de la revancha de aquella paliza en el Juego 7 en NBA 2K, pero en lugar de que los Suns perdieran de forma vergonzosa, este fan puso a los Mavs como indefensos en una paliza de 328-31. Eso les dará una lección.

A nosotros lo que más nos gustó fue la respiración.

Pero oigan, lo que le funcione a cada quien. Siempre es más sencillo manejar la derrota en una eliminación en un partido muy cerrado. Son justo esas palizas las que hacen que todos empiezan a buscar respuestas de forma desesperada. Este tipo logró encontrar la forma de hacerlo a través de 2K.

Si tan solo los Suns hubiera bajado la dificultad del juego en la vida real.

Report: The Mavs reached out to Warriors to gauge interest in a Kristaps Porzingis trade

According to Ian Begley of SNY, the Mavericks have reached out to the Golden State Warriors to “gauge interest” in a Kristaps Porzingis trade

With the Dallas Mavericks dropping to 14-15 to start the 2020-21 season, the team could be involved in the trade market.

According to Ian Begley of SNY, the Mavericks have reached out to the Golden State Warriors to gauge interest in a Kristaps Porzingis trade. Outside of Porzingis, there have been no other details about potential targets in the rumored deal.

Via SNY:

The Dallas Mavericks have reached out to the Golden State Warriors to gauge interest in a Kristaps Porzingis trade, sources tell SNY’s Ian Begley.

With the Warriors boasting talented rookie prospect James Wiseman and a pair of potential first-round picks in the 2021 NBA draft, Golden State could have the capital teams are interested in at the trade deadline. As the Warriors sit 16-15, it’s a mystery how Bob Myers and Steve Kerr could handle the trade deadline.

Via @SNYtv on Twitter:

After leaving the New York Knicks via a blockbuster trade in 2019, Porzingis has averaged 20.4 points on 43.8% shooting from the field with 9.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 31.4 minutes in a season and a half with the Dallas Mavericks. However, the Latvian’s time in Dallas has been limited to 74 games due to injury.

Prior to joining Luka Doncic and the Mavericks, the 25-year-old earned a nod to the NBA All-Star Game in 2018, averaging a career-high 22.7 points on 43.9% shooting from the field with 6.6 rebounds and 2.4 blocks in 32.4 minutes with the New York Knicks.

The 2021 trade deadline is March 25.

Luka Doncic, Bam Adebayo, Myles Turner, Goran Dragic and other NBA players react to Klay Thompson’s injury

After the Warriors announced Klay Thompson would miss the entire 2020-21 season due to an Achilles injury, the NBA family chimed in on social media with messages of support for the Golden State guard.

On Thursday, the Golden State Warriors announced Klay Thompson has a torn Achilles in his right leg. Thompson’s injury will force him to miss the entire 2020-21 season

Prior to the start of the NBA draft, the five-time All-Star suffered his season-ending Achilles injury at a workout with other NBA players in Southern California.

In June of 2019, Thompson endured another significant injury. On a fast break drive to the basket, the three-time champion suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during the third quarter of game six of the NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors.

As he rehabbed his knee, Thompson missed all of Golden State’s 2019-20 run. Following a long rehab and an 18-month layoff from game action, Thompson was expected to be on the court for Golden State’s preseason training camp in December.

After playing in 73 or more games in seven consecutive seasons, the 30-year-old is slated to be sidelined for back-to-back campaigns. Over his career in the Bay Area, Thompson is averaging 19.5 points on 45.9% shooting from the field with 3.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per contest.

Following the initial reports of the news, LeBron James, Trae Young, Donovan Mitchell and other NBA players weighed in on social media with their thoughts on Thompson’s unfortunate injury.

The official announcement of the injury brought a new wave of players from around the league chiming in with messages of support for Thompson.

Report: Former Warrior Willie Cauley-Stein sitting out NBA’s Orlando restart

Former Warriors center Willie Cauley-Stein isn’t expected to join the Dallas Mavericks in Orlando for the NBA’s restart.

With the league’s worst record at 15-50, the Golden State Warriors won’t be traveling to Orlando to finish out the NBA season. Yet, for the Dallas Mavericks, it’s a different story. Led by Luka Dončić
and Kristaps Porziņģis, the Mavs are currently sitting as the Western Conference’s No. 7 seed.

However, for the Mavericks stretch run, they will be without Willie Cauley-Stein. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the former Golden State Warriors center has decided to sit out the NBA’s restart.

Over the offseason, the Kentucky product signed a free-agent deal with the Golden State Warriors. In 41 games in the Bay Area, Cauley Stein averaged 7.9 points, 6.2 boards, 1.5 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.1 steals per game.

After an injury to Dwight Powell, Dallas acquired Cauley-Stein from Golden State for a 2020 second-round pick. In 12 games with Dallas, Cauley recorded 5.2 points and 4.6 rebounds in 12.1 minutes per contest.

Although Cauley-Stein won’t be competing in the NBA’s restart, a bevy of former members of the Warriors will be on display in Orlando. Andre Iguodala, JaVale McGee, Quinn Cook, Harrison Barnes, Kent Bazemore, Marco Bellinelli, Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson III are slated to be on the court when the NBA returns to action.
