It was evident the way he was slumped over on the court, hands on knees, sweat dripping and breaths heavy. It was more evident Monday as the Mavericks cleaned out their lockers, had exit interviews with the coaches and headed for their off-season homes. Nowitzki said he was spent by the end of the series, which was far more competitive than most people imagined it would be. He could not walk after Game 7 without a noticeable hitch in his get-along. “Yeah, it’s been a lot of games, especially in the playoffs,” Nowitzki said Monday. “I averaged almost 40 minutes and playing every other night. That was a bit much. “I don’t think I had enough left in the tank [Sunday] to really take this thing over and take it to another level, which is disappointing. But hey, it happened. I felt great for 100 games. I only missed two games and I feel great for that.” It was another sign that age waits for no man, not even if they are in the top-10 of the NBA’s all-time scoring list. Nowitzki may have been on dead legs by the end, but by Monday, he was already talking up the future — which by the way will be in Dallas. Neither he nor the Mavericks have any intentions of letting him finish his career anywhere else. “Obviously, Dirk’s not going anywhere,” president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said. “He’s built this franchise. He’s been with us from day one. Certainly, there’s negotiations to take place, but he loves this city and he wants to call it his home. We certainly reciprocate those feelings, so our hope is we’ll get something done that’s not only in Dirk’s best [interests] but also affects the flexibility of the future of the Mavericks.” Nowitzki seconded that opinion. “We want to get better as a team,” Nowitzki said. “And I’m pretty sure I’ m not going to sign Kobe’s deal [two-year extension, $48 million] unfortunately. “We’ll find a good way where I feel respected for what I did and we still have enough money left for us to get great players in here. [Owner Mark Cuban] has been great to me and been loyal to me for a long, long time. I’m sure we’re going to find a great solution for everybody.” They always do. Four years ago, Nowitzki took more than $15 million less than the maximum — a hometown discount, if you will — to re-sign with the Mavericks. His $22.7 million salary last season will be replaced with a much lower number. But he won’t qualify for food stamps. Guesswork would put his 2014-15 salary in the $10-12 million range. Whatever the number is, it will be arrived at with the understanding that Nowitzki will not have to be the team’s best player. With Monta Ellis’ showing in his first season in Dallas, it’s reasonable to wonder if — with the right free-agent signing — the Mavericks might not have Nowitzki as their third-best player by next season. “We’ve taken a step in the right direction with Monta,” Nelson said. “He’ s really taken a step forward. But we’re looking for more. To win a championship, you have to have lots in that arsenal. And certainly Mark is willing and gracious to spend as much as it takes. He’s proven that over the years. “But the reality is we got a cap, and we got to work within some confinement. And so, having players that can perform at a high level at decent numbers is a key.” Not that Nowitzki is ready to become a bit player. He’s bounding with optimism after playing 80 regular-season games in his 16th season and having great health. “It’s been a crazy ride and I was excited this year that I played 80 games, which nobody really saw coming after last season,” he said. “I still think I ’m going to play a couple more years at a high level. I’m not going anywhere for a while. So we’ll figure some stuff out the next couple weeks. “The year before, I was a little worried with the knee injury and not getting going for a long, long time. But this year, I feel a lot better about my body and my health, so I feel like I can still play at a high level for a couple more years.” Dirk打完第七戰時他感覺累透了 Dirk說他這季平均上場快40分鐘打了快100場比賽對他來說負擔相當大 Dirk說他覺得他沒有太多餘力重新再來一次把比賽水準打的更高不過他覺得他整季只缺了2場比賽 Dirk的季後賽結束了他也決定展望未來 Donnie Nelson說小牛絕對會跟Dirk續約的他從第一天就在小牛隊小牛這幾年的成就都圍繞Dirk 當然合約的事情還有很多談價空間只是我們相信最後Dirk會留下來另外Dirk很注重球隊的未來性我們相信可以談出一個合理的價錢 Dirk方面則是說他不會想續一個像Kobe一樣的大約我希望我可以領到一個受尊重的價碼並同時保留球隊的競爭性四年前Dirk曾降薪總價15M 下季預計一年領10~12M Dirk說這季開打前沒有人認為他能繼續保持這狀態他認為自己未來仍可以保持健康並打出高水準比賽 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 1.162.66.239 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Mavericks/M.1399381474.A.EA8.html ※ 編輯: popstarkirby (1.162.66.239), 05/06/2014 21:04:57
