There was never any doubt that star player Dirk Nowitzki would be playing for the Dallas Mavericks during the 2014-15 NBA season. On Thursday a new deal between the two sides was finalized.
Nowitzki will get a three-year deal worth around $30 million. Such a deal saves the Mavericks some cap space as they continue to pursue pieces to place on the court around him.
