Mavericks owner Mark Cuban probably slept pretty soundly after his early morning meeting with Jason Kidd. Cuban had a 12:01 a.m. meeting Wednesday with Kidd in New York, a symbolic gesture aimed at letting the free agent point guard know how much the club values him and wants to keep him. Later Wednesday, Cuban wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press that the get-together "went well, i was...
Mark Cuban wants to be first in line to talk to Jason Kidd.

He moves across the sand-specked basketball court swathed in the glossy dark blue jersey of his old Japanese pro team, a keepsake from a career that propelled him around the world. Now back home in Africa, playing among friends, Ndongo Ndiaye is in no hurry to impress anymore. But when a crosscourt pass comes his way, time stands still for a moment.
For the first time in his career as the man directing basketball operations for the Dallas Mavericks, Donnie...
Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki has filed court papers seeking sole custody of his former girlfriend's unborn child should genetic testing proves he's the father. The June 12 petition, obtained by the Beaumont Enterprise newspaper and posted on its Web site, has since been sealed. Crystal Taylor, arrested May 6 at Nowitzki's Dallas home, has repeatedly said he is the father.
Mavericks president Donnie Nelson loved the convenience of having an NBA Development League team in Fort Worth. In less than an hour, he could get from his desk to watching his team's top prospects in action while also scouting other up-and-comers. The privilege lasted only two seasons, though, ending in 2007.
A woman arrested last month at Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki's Dallas home has a July 27 hearing on her theft arrest. Crystal Taylor was arrested May 6 at Nowitzki's home in north Dallas. The 37-year-old defendant was indicted in September 2006 on a theft of services charge for not paying a Beaumont dentist for 2004 work worth between $1,500 and $20,000.
