Cobb Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 NBA.com "I have to keep my options open at this point, see what's going on; got to get over this disappointment for a while," the German forward said. "I'll probably drown my sorrows for a bit, then start thinking about stuff like that in a week or two. As of now, I just want to keep my options open and see what happens." Nowitzki is due $21.5 million in 2010-11. If he leaves, it wouldn't be for more money, but for a better chance of winning a championship. Dallas has won at least 50 games for 10 straight season, yet still hasn't won a title. Only three other franchises have pulled off the 50-for-10 feat and each won at least three titles during that span, adding to the frustration for Dallas players, management and fans. Nowitzki said he believes owner Mark Cuban and president Donnie Nelson would continue to surround him with the pieces needed to compete. In fact, he spent the last few weeks repeatedly saying this version was "the deepest team I've been on in my career" and that it was "built for the playoffs." But how would he react if good buddy Steve Nash suggested they team up again in Phoenix? Or if LeBron James, or Dwyane Wade, asks him to come along wherever they go? I doubt he goes anywhere because the situation in Dallas isn't that bad aside from not winning a championship. Kidd is getting old but Butler should be better acquainted to the team next season. I'd be really surprised if he went somewhere besides Dallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 If he is sincere about signing for less to play for a winner he should go the the Heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 He would have a better chance at winning in Portland. Andre, Roy, Dirk, LaMarcus, Camby, come on now. lol Though, I don't see him leaving Dallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Does Portland even have cap room? If I remember correctly the Heat have 2 max contracts (1 to Wade) and then cap left over don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
