A Pretty Fantastic, Unofficial, Redesigned Mavs Logo

Addison Foote gave himself a challenge: redesign all 30 NBA team logos in 30 days. The result is here, and his reworked and updated takes on the logos are almost all really good (I'm not crazy about the Atlanta one), most with subtle shapes that represent something iconic about the city without screaming and pointing. I really like his throwback Mavs logo, because I've always loved the original and have never fallen in love with what the team uses now. "I used both old and new Mavs logos as inspiration for this," Foote writes. "I based it mainly off the old logo where the 'M' is wearing a cowboy hat. I updated it a bit and used negative space to showcase a horses ears and head."

Read Jon Bois’ Eulogy For RadioShack

If you didn't read this -- SBNation's Jon Bois writing about his days working for RadioShack -- when it ran last year, now is a good time to do it. A taste:
This is a consumer technology business that is built to work perfectly in the year 1975. The Internet comes around, and this, being a technology company, is expected to move on it aggressively and know what it's doing, except basically nobody really understood the Internet for a very long time. So they whiffed big a few times. Then the iPhone came around and rendered half the stuff RadioShack sold completely redundant. This company needed to become something radically different a decade ago. I just don't think it knows how to be anything else. It's like retracing the steps and doings of a drunk person: okay, here's where he keyed the cop car. Wait, why'd he do that? I don't know, but his pants are lying here, so this is before he stripped naked and tried to rob the library.
ALSO: the CueCat makes a cameo.

The Dallas Version of Basic

At Jezebel, Erin Gloria Ryan has a super-entertaining guide to every sub-category of "basic" in the United States. The Dallas entry:
Job: Real estate. Maybe marketing. Drives: A massive SUV her dad bought for her. Wears: Kendra Scott jewelry, Tori Burch accessories, 7 For All Mankind or Citizens of Humanity jeans. A statement necklace if it's a special occasion. Listens to: 106.1 KISS FM. Spends her summers: Being a bridesmaid. She has been a bridesmaid like 15 times. Celebrity aspiration: Jessica Simpson.
Do you agree? If you don't, you're probably basic. Just kidding. Kind of. No, really. Maybe.

Mavs May Pursue Pau Gasol And His Super-Positive Twitter Account

Your Dallas Mavericks supposedly are going to make a play for free agent Pau Gasol, most recently with the Los Angeles Lakers. Gasol es bros con José Calderón, por lo que es una ventaja. I don't know how much he would help on the court -- I'd rather have Marc Gasol -- but I would welcome his overwhelming positivity to the area. A few examples from his Twitter account:
