Nowitzki's adviser: Dirk staying in Dallas
--- Quote ---DALLAS (AP)—Dirk Nowitzki(notes) is sticking with the Dallas Mavericks.
Next question: Will he and Jason Kidd(notes) be able to lure anyone to join them?
Nowitzki's adviser, Holger Geschwindner, told The Associated Press late Saturday night that Nowitzki and Mavs owner Mark Cuban have agreed "to get it done." Teams and free agents can strike deals at any time, but can't sign them until Thursday.
According to a person familiar with negotiations, the deal is for more than $80 million over four years, with a no-trade clause. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the NBA's moratorium until Thursday. Team officials couldn't comment because of that same rule.
"I think it's a great deal," Geschwindner said. "We're pumped."
The deal was first reported by ESPN.

how is this making sense? if he opts out and goes to another team, boston aint paying him shit
and if they had not resigned pierce, they woulda had cap space... not 21 mil obviously, but still some
7even:
Dirk re-signs with the Mavs and leaves 15 mil on the table after being offered the max
