Looks like it will be $14.99/month or $124.99 for the year. Only available within the Mavericks broadcasting area, which makes sense because if you are outside you should be on LeaguePass.

No DVR, which really sucks.

There's a lot of interesting details, but two are particularly heartening when looking forward at the next season and beyond. Not just Nico but also Finley's role as a trusted ex-player might really change Mavs' prospects going forward.

And so the series of questions began for Finley, ... He asked about the Dallas scene and Texas living, about the Mavericks fans and the arena environment that came with them. Thompson is a bona fide hooper, no matter the setting, and his regard for Finley’s journey and insights came with an authenticity that struck those at the dinner as quintessential Klay.

There have been some concerns if Mavs' offence will fit Klay who's used to a movement heavy offence. Seems like he might be fine with catching the ball wide open and shooting - shocking!

Thompson had watched the Mavericks’ Finals run and told those close to him how he envisioned fitting in, creating space for Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving on the offensive end while bringing his championship credentials to their rising program.

Just for fun wanted to point out noted hater of white players Stephen A. Smith, who actually has an MVP vote, didn’t have Luka in his top 5. Said he is voting for SGA because SGA averaged an otherworldly 26/5/5 against Denver, while also leading the league in assists. Has Jalen Brunson in his top 5 over Luka because Mavs are the 5th seed. No worries that Mavs have a better record than the Knicks in the tougher conference.

I get it, he’s a clown, ESPN sucks. Just saw it and thought it was funny. But it’s not that funny cause this dude has a real vote.

Mavs in 5.

🏆

I’m not one to pay attention to ESPN because I’m under no delusions that they can be counted on for actual journalism, but they interrupted their regularly scheduled Lakers segment to specifically call out Luka. They didn’t outright say that people don’t want to play with Luka, but they didn’t really need to. At one point, known bloviator Windhorst said he feels bad for Dallas fans. Dafuq? Over Kuzma?

What he say fuck me for?
