The though of Dirk Nowitzki in another uniform hurts my brain to even imagine and I’m sure it hurts his brain too. So to avoid starting the ’10-11 season in a new uniform on the injured reserve list with ‘brain hurt’, Dirk Nowitzki has agreed to re-up with the Dallas Mavericks.
According to ESPN, Nowitzki’s new contract is a reported four-year $80 million deal with a no trade clause which is $16 million less than the $96 million maximum contract Nowitzki was eligible to receive.
“I think it’s a great deal, Geschwindner [Nowitzki’s adviser] said. We’re pumped. We did not know (if he would re-sign),” Geschwindner said. “We had a bunch of options. Finally, he agreed. Dirk agreed with Mark, one-on-one.”
By accepting less, Nowitzki is hoping the Mavericks will be able to lure another free agent to join Dallas’ core group of Jason Terry, Jason Kidd and Nowitzki.
