Mark Cuban tells us that despite what was reported in the past, the Mavs never had an opportunity to sign Jalen Brunson to a 4-year extension last January. Then when the trade deadline approached in early Feb., Brunson’s side made it clear that asking price would be $18-23M. – 6:12 PM

Joel Embiid pretty much wraps up the scoring title with his 52-point performance tonight. Luka Donic would have had to outscore Embiid by 14 in the final three games to pull even. – 10:23 PM

James Ham: Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are both listed as probable for today’s game against Sacramento. The Kings have yet to release their injury report after playing last night. -via Twitter @James_HamNBA / April 5, 2023
According to one rumor out of Madrid, via okdiario.com, Doncic’s former Real Madrid coach Pablo Laso could be next in line to coach the Mavs if Kidd gets let go. Editor’s note: the following was translated from its original Spanish text to English. Pablo Laso could return to the bench next season as the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks. The coach from Vitoria has been recommended by Luka Doncic to replace Jason Kidd at the helm of the American franchise after a disappointing second part of the season that could leave them out of the playoffs. -via Sports Illustrated / April 5, 2023
Callie Caplan: Luka Doncic, when asked whether he and Kyrie Irving have had enough time to learn to play together: “I don’t think offense is the problem. I’ve always said this. It’s our defensive end. I think anybody can score on us. Whoever it is, anybody can score on us.” -via Twitter @CallieCaplan / April 4, 2023
