DALLAS -- Last week, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban made headlines with his stunning decision to sell a majority stake in the NBA franchise he's proudly owned for 23 years. Cuban, who purchased the Mavericks for $285 million in 2000, recently sold a majority stake in the team for a valued $3.5 billion to the Adelson family, who owns the Las Vegas Sands casino, according to the Associated Press.

The Miami Heat could not ask for a better start to a basketball game on Friday night. With a flurry of 3-pointers from Josh Richardson along with Kevin Love outlet dimes to set Miami up with easy transition points, the Miami Heat were able to build a 39-23 lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Detroit, MI

The Detroit Pistons are 2-18, with 17 straight losses on their ledger. Expectations weren't exactly high for Detroit, but there hasn't been a more disappointing team in the 2023-24 season. Rather than noticeable progress under highly touted (and very expensive) head coach Monty Williams, the Pistons have regressed. The on-court product is difficult to watch, and it's hard to express any measure of confidence in the current young core.

Orlando, FL

The Orlando Magic were not going to go for a big fish this offseason. The team's goal was clearly to develop the young core they have and to keep continuity among this team. They did just that, they stayed put retaining all their own players and only made one free agent signing in Joe Ingles.

MassLive's Brian Robb believes there's "no shot" that the Boston Celtics will land Norman Powell ahead of the trade deadline should the Los Angeles Clippers make him available -- the reason being that the Cs would need to give up one of their top six players to make it happen.

The Jordan Phillips and Jason Kelce beef has a new entry, and oh boy, is it spicy. Following the Week 12 overtime finish where the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Buffalo Bills 37-34, Jason Kelce had some words for Phillips.

Atlanta, GA

While the Atlanta Braves have gone heavy on beefing up their bullpen this offseason in addition to adding Jarred Kelenic to play left field, the biggest question for the Braves is how are they going to address their starting pitching staff. Atlanta has culled a chunk of their pitching depth this offseason and has been rumored to be looking at a number of guys this offseason including Dylan Cease, Sonny Gray, Aaron Nola, and Seth Lugo.

Andrew Berry has been a phenomenal general manager for the Cleveland Browns since joining in 2020. He's not perfect, which no GM is, but he's done a great job building a competitive roster. That can be seen in the fact that they've lost several key players — and are on their fourth starting quarterback of the season — yet are still in the playoff hunt.

Baltimore, MD

The Baltimore Orioles have entered the winter meetings with one primary need; pitching. As it stands right now, the Orioles have a solid starting rotation and a good bullpen but you can never have too much pitching. The rotation will likely feature Kyle Bradish, John Means, Grayson Rodriguez and Dean Kremer with Cole Irvin, DL Hall and Tyler Wells battling for the final spot. The biggest question mark is the closer role. The O's will be without AL Reliever of the Year Felix Bautista after he had Tommy John surgery, and several players were utilized to fill his giant shoes.
