Dirk Nowitzki

In theory, Dirk Nowitzki should’ve always been a max player for the Mavs, and it should be that way until the day he retires. He’s meant that much to the organization. But Dirk has willingly taken less money along the way, in hopes that Mark Cuban would use that extra cash to recapture what they [...]

Dirk Nowitzki is still a member of the Dallas Mavericks after agreeing a two-year, $40 million…and that was always the plan. We knew this, of course. Nowitzki is a Mavericks lifer. It was difficult to envision him playing anywhere else. But the Golden State Warriors had the ability to carve out cap space, plus the [...]

Despite the Dallas Mavericks once again striking out on some of the NBA’s marquee free agents, Dirk Nowitzki, a free agent himself, is not planning to leave. Per ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: [tweet https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/750318672489525248] Look, this makes sense. The Mavericks have, unequivocally, wasted Nowitzki’s twilight. They should pay him. Also, this is still technically a discount, [...]

After losing Game 7 of the NBA Finals to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Golden State Warriors have officially lost their minds. By going full Daryl Morey. According to Tim Kawakami of the Mercury News, the Warriors plan to be super aggressive this offseason. Which is fine. And that’s led them to “circle” Dirk Nowitzki’s name [...]

Rick Carlisle, head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, is ready for owner Mark Cuban to break open the piggy bank on Dirk Nowitzki’s behalf. The 37-year-old superhuman has made just over $16 million through each of the last two seasons, accepting a pay cut of epic proportions so that the Mavericks could afford to pay [...]

Dirk Nowitzki took a pay cut in 2014 to help the Dallas Mavericks assemble an NBA title contender. Which they haven’t done. They have invested in Chandler Parsons and Wesley Matthews, and they have whiffed on DeAndre Jordan, but they have yet to put together a team, a core, worthy of the financial sacrifice Nowitzki [...]

Now that the marathon known as the NBA season is winding down, the 22 franchises who have packed their bags for the summer and the players who play for those franchises have started to look forward to the 2016 off season. 18-year veteran and greatest Dallas Maverick of all time Dirk Nowitzki has announced that [...]

Now that the shimmer from the Dallas Mavericks’ Game 2 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder has partially faded, we can return to reality and admit to truths that remain evident. The Dallas Mavericks are screwed. Yes, Game 2 was fun. It was glorious. But the Mavericks cannot bank on repeat performances of that nature. [...]

Dirk Nowitzki isn’t ready to call it NBA career. Not now, now after this season, not even following next season. The Dallas Mavericks’ sweet-shooting big man owns a player option for next season, which he’s supposed to exercise in attempt to give the team ample cap flexibility in free agency. It was not widely expected [...]
