👋 Good morning! - The 2025-2026 NBA season opens tonight. Mavs will open up on Wednesday, but the excitement overall continues to build with all four major sports playing at the same time. - Ali Jawad

Two days before opening night, the Dallas Mavericks are rewriting their identity, again.

Gone is Luka Doncic, now a Laker, and in his place stands a reinvented Dallas squad built around Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis.

It’s the dawn of a new era in North Texas, one filled with bold roster moves, quiet front-office shakeups, and just enough uncertainty to make this season appointment viewing.

Jason Kidd has his long-term deal locked in, Frank Vogel is back alongside him, and the Mavericks have doubled down on experience across the bench. Dereck Lively II keeps growing (literally), Anthony Davis is rocking goggles after eye surgery, and Kyrie Irving’s rehab is being kept under wraps.

Oh, and rookie phenom Cooper Flagg? He’s already in the starting five. The franchise isn’t tiptoeing into a rebuild, it’s sprinting toward reinvention.

From D’Angelo Russell’s arrival to sweeping staff changes behind the scenes, this Dallas team has flipped the script faster than anyone expected. Whether it’s a contender reborn or an experiment in progress, the Mavericks have everyone watching.

Opening Night is almost here, and it’s not just another season. It’s a statement.

More reinforcements could be on the way for the Dallas Cowboys, as three injured players are expected to have their 21-day practice windows open this week.

It’s been a minute.
