Remember this reaction to Luka Doncic’s logo 3?

Wish you could know what he thought about *that* transition nutmeg?

I sat courtside with Jason Kidd for Slovenia-Hungary as he narrated and predicted Luka’s play through his Hall of Fame eyes:

Logging back on to say WHAT

[Brad Townsend @townbrad]

League source confirms the unbelievable is true: The Mavericks are trading Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris to the Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick.

@townbrad Brad!!! 🥺🥺🥺

(Hi yes everyone I’m still alive)

[Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan]

And thanks to all too many of you who have followed along here.

Y’all are absolutely nuts for Luka and the Mavs, and that made this silly job feel gratifying.

I’ll also be a regular Mavs follower now, so let’s all subscribe to @dallasnews so thorough daily coverage continues.

[Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan]

Hello! Today is my last at @dallasnews. After working up to Mavs and Olympics beats and living my sports journalism dreams, it’s time for new priorities.

Thankful for my editors, mentors and sources who supported my pitches and goals the last 5 years, including this move now.

[Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan]

@MichaelDavidLC You and me both, my friend 🥺

It’s here. It’s yours, it’s mine, it’s ours. It’s an album I wrote alone about the whims, fantasies, heartaches, dramas and tragedies I lived out as a young woman between 18 and 20. I remember making tracklist after tracklist, obsessing over the right way to tell the story. I had to be ruthless with my choices, and I left behind some songs I am still unfailingly proud of now. Therefore, you have 6 From The Vault tracks! I recorded this album when I was 32 (and still growing up, now) and the memories it brought back filled me with nostalgia and appreciation. For life, for you, for the fact that I get to reclaim my work. Thank you a million times, for the memories that break our fall. 💥🐉🏰 Speak Now (MY VERSION!) is out now.

Part 2 ☑️

Now time to let the kids play.

[Mavs PR @MavsPR]

The Dallas Mavericks have acquired Richaun Holmes and the draft rights to the 24th overall pick Olivier-Maxence Prosper from the Sacramento Kings in exchange for cash considerations.

Part 1 ☑️

[Mavs PR @MavsPR]

The Dallas Mavericks have acquired the draft rights to 12th overall pick Dereck Lively II from the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Dāvis Bertāns and the draft rights to 10th overall pick Cason Wallace.

[Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan]

Feel like it’s also important to note Dereck Lively’s nickname for his Mavs champ mentor: “That’s why I have big ole TC there, someone I can rely on, ask questions. It just makes me not afraid of making mistakes.”

[Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan]

Mavs rookie Dereck Lively II on working with Tyson Chandler: “He’s probably already tired of me asking him questions.”

[Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan]

O-Max Prosper is enthusiastic about everything, including Dallas summer weather: “Great! From where I’m from, Montreal, I love the heat. Even though people say it’s really hot, I love it. I love it.”

[Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan]

Mavs hope to finalize the Davis Bertans salary-dump trade today, so this should be the last 1-on-0 work for rookies Dereck Lively II and O-Max Prosper before they can join live scrimmages and play in summer league.

[Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan]

Also the air conditioning is not working in the Mavs’ gym, so could’ve been about that too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan]

Might’ve known something was up when GM Nico Harrison was just out watching Mavs’ summer league practice and then walked away to take a few phone calls lol

[Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn]

The Portland Trail Blazers are matching restricted free agent Matisse Thybulle’s three-year, $33 million offer sheet with the Dallas Mavericks, sources tell ESPN. Sheet was signed and received in Portland this morning.

[gus @igus_ai]

I’m blessed and excited 😊

[Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan]

What are the odds Micah Parsons — a noted Luka fan (and honestly every NBA team fan lol) — had anything to do with the Mavs finally getting this Grant Williams trade to work?

Williams posted 2 photos with Parsons on Instagram yesterday at Michael Rubin’s celebrity white party.

[Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan]

Grant Williams, Dallas Maverick. https://t.co/OgUMELVuqV
