Dwyane Wade, 2006 NBA Finals MVP and three-time champion, gave his opinion on the Dallas Mavericks’ current situation on “Time Out with Dwyane Wade.”

“The Dallas Mavericks are in trouble,” Wade began. “The Dallas Mavericks are in trouble, I think I’ve seen 15 bodies go down.”

The Mavericks currently have seven players listed as “out” on their injury report, with the majority of them being stars and/or core rotation players for the team.

“When ‘The Why’ Network went live, we was talking about the Luka trade, but we was talking about AD going to Dallas, Kyrie Irving, we was talking about what that could be and this window is now, that window is…” Wade’s co-host attempted to finish his sentence and exclaimed “Closed.” Wade responded, [That window is] “Not now, it ain’t right now.”

Despite Luka Doncic having led the Mavericks to the 2024 NBA Finals (and Western Conference Finals in 2022), the team decided to trade the superstar in what was considered to be one of the more shocking trades in the NBA’s history. Doncic was traded for Anthony Davis, who didn’t even get to finish his debut game with the Mavericks before suffering an injury. Davis hasn’t played since. Kyrie Irving, Doncic’s co-star in last year’s Finals appearance, tore his ACL in early March.

Wade, who averaged 30.6 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.5 assists against the Mavericks in two NBA Finals, had more to say about the decision they made this season.

“You looking at a ownership, a front office that made a bold, one of the boldest moves in NBA history, and put themselves, actually, in a great position for like the now, and then, everybody on our side is thinking ‘They don’t know what they doing’ now. Now it looks crazy, because you looking at the roster now that you bout to see the Dallas Mavericks have to, you know, kind of rebuild themselves back up … But right now, the future looks a little slower to where they’re trying to get back to.”

The University of Miami baseball team (14-11, 1-5 ACC) fell to the fifth-ranked Florida State Seminoles (20-3, 5-1 ACC) Saturday night at Mark Light Field,10-6.

Wes Mendes started for Florida State but lasted only four innings, allowing six earned runs on six hits. Peyton Prescott (2-0) stabilized the game in relief, striking out seven over four scoreless innings to earn the win.

Miami right-handed pitcher Brian Walters (2-1) took the loss after surrendering six earned runs in three innings. Miami’s bullpen allowed just three earned runs the rest of the way, but the early damage done in the fourth inning by the Seminoles proved too much to overcome.

The series’ final game picked up where the first two left off, with both teams scoring runs early.

The Seminoles struck first when Alex Lodise scored on a fielding error by Miami’s Walters after Brody DeLamielleure put the ball in play. Miami battled back the next inning when Daniel Cuvet plated Jake Ogden to tie the score at one. Florida State continued to put the pressure on by tallying another run in the top of the second, with Gage Harrelson notching an RBI single to put the Seminoles back in front, 2-1.

Cuvet singled up the middle with two outs to bring in Fabio Peralta and Ogden – quickly putting the Hurricanes back into the driver’s seat.

Trailing 3-2 entering the fourth, the Seminoles erupted for seven runs on seven hits to break the game open. Walters walked Carter McCulley home to tie the game; then Gage Harrelson brought in two with an RBI single that signified the go-ahead runs. After Chase Williams brought in two more with a single, Myles Bailey and Jaxson West each registered RBI singles to give Florida State a commanding 9-3 lead.

Miami, despite scoring three runs in the next half-inning to make the score 9-6, ran out of momentum on its offensive attack.

The Hurricanes are back in action on Wednesday. They will face Stetson at Mark Light Field, with the first pitch scheduled for 6 p.m.
