Future of Dirk Nowitzki and Mavs now that Spurs eliminated them in round 1

[Prodigy]

They have older talented guys who are shells of their former self on that team. Terry,Kidd, need to go.

If they could find a way, Trading for Kirk Heinrich would make them a lil younger with a guy who would be good for them

They are still being haunted by the Kidd and Harris trade.

[PP34Deuce]

Its hard cause Kid had a great season. was shooting the open 3 at a better clip, than playoffs came and he looked 10 years older.

[ReturnofJPR]

If Dirk opts out, how does that change things. Is he more sought after than Wade or Bosh. Bron is still #1, right? What about Joe Johnson, Amare, or Boozer. Where does Dirk fit into that? He has told ESPN that he might opt out.

What teams would pursue Dirk? Nets? Knicks? HEAT?

[stephanieg]

A team in the modern day day NBA whose best two players are white gets destroyed. Big shock.

[Locked_Up_Tonight]

All depends on need. LeBron and Wade are one and two regardless. But after that, it is all dependent on style/fit for a team.

[Nets fan 93]

If Miami wants Wade to stay... They may need Dirk

[The Nets]

If Miami wants Wade to stay... They may need Dirk

hehe true enough, Miami needs to move Beasley and trade for someone capable of being a consistent 2nd option.

[MK2V1GP]

I was just wondering earlier, where would Dirk go if he left Dallas?

New York was the first thing that popped into my mind, no idea why though. I do think that Wade and Dirk would work well together though. Dirk seems to have a 2nd option mentality sometimes, and Wade would finally have a guy he could depend on for once.

Sign and trade to Phx for Amare? lol. Re-unite Nash with Dirk.

Sign and trade to Utah for Boozer? lol

NO IDEA

[Juges8932]

Bron is #1 due to him being so young.

Wade is #2 due to being so good, but not quite as young as Bron


Everybody else, but particularly Dirk, Amar'e, and Bosh.

[1~Gibson~1]

What do you think Dirk does with his future? Does he returns to the place where he's spent his first 12 years in the league at or does he go to an up and coming team (like the Thunder) to try to win a championship.

And what should Mark Cuban do with the team? Break up the pieces or give it another shot?

didnt see em...lo siento

this is my first time back on ISH in a while

[magnax1]

Well, I could see Dirk asking for a trade, but thats extremely unlikely. Hes one of the most loyal seeming players in the NBA.

[brooks_thompson]

how about portland?

although i cant see blazers fo making a major trade without giving a healthy team a year to compete. i can see a sign and trade happening if they underachieve next year. this assumes nowitzki takes his 21 million next year

[InspiredLebowski]

They can bring in a major piece with Dampier's unguaranteed contract. I imagine probably somewhere around a dozen teams would line up to take that off their hands.
