Other teams, such as the 73-win Golden State Warriors, are rumored to have significant interest in the 38 year-old big German. July 1, is the beginning of the NBA free-agency period and the seven-footer should have plenty options in a league that has fallen in love with spacing the floor.
Dirk may just be looking to re-up under the growing salary cap or his days in Dallas may truly be over. Regardless, his loyalty to Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks over the past 18 seasons should be cherished.
