Abby Jones: Dallas Mavericks Co-interim GM, Matt Riccardi on the upcoming draft regarding the upcoming talent playing in the NCAA Tournament: “If you’re just now paying attention during the NCAA tournament, you’re too late. I’ve seen all of our Top 20 guys, 3-4 times live already.”
Noah Weber: Michael Finley on why he feels ready to potentially take the jump to be the Mavericks’ GM: “I think I am Dallas. I’m everything Dallas is about. I played here, through the good times and the bad times, and as a fan of the Mavericks, I know what it takes and I know what the fans are looking for. So I would love to have the chance to lead this franchise into the future and to ultimately championship contenders.”

Charlie Villanueva on Mark Cuban: “He’s A1. He hanging out with us. He on the flights. He like, ‘Y’all want to do something? Let’s go. We out.’ Like, we—like, it almost felt a little weird— Like, I’m going to hang out with my boss? That’s a little—you know what I mean? That’s a little weird. But it was cool, man. He was A1, man. Took care of his players, and just how they did everything, man—just, you know, top-notch organization.”

Basketball Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Friday. Rodman, a five-time NBA champion with the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls, has a four-match pro wrestling career, with three of those coming in WCW. He made his WCW debut in 1997 and famously skipped a practice during the 1998 NBA Finals to appear on "WCW Monday Nitro," where he set up a tag team match in which he partnered with Hulk Hogan to face Diamond Dallas Page and Karl Malone.
Mike Curtis: Dereck Lively II spoke before today’s Mavs Ball in his first public comments since season-ending surgery on his right foot. He’s currently in a boot. “Valuing the little things. Going from not being able to walk to 1 crutch to 2 crutches. I’m just waiting, taking my time & making sure that when I come back, I’m 110%.”

Who will be the NBA's best in five years? Here's our projection: 1. Victor Wembanyama; 2. Anthony Edwards; 3. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander; 4. Luka Doncic; 5. Cade Cunningham; 6. Cooper Flagg.
Kyrie Irving—you all had a conversation about the spotlight and the shoes you’re stepping into as the face of a franchise. What did he tell you? Cooper Flagg: I was driving home and he had texted me. He was like, “Yo, just give me a call.” He was like, “Listen, I understand. I’ve kind of been through this before. I don’t think there are a lot of people around you right now who can tell you they’ve been through something similar.” He was that top pick and was kind of thrown into the fire. So he just stepped in as a great vet for me and was there giving me guidance, because there were definitely times where I was shaken up. I’d never lost that much in my life. But just to hear him say that, and tell me that I’m doing everything I need to be doing, and just to stay with it and stay positive—it definitely helped me out a lot.
