Dirk Staying in Dallas

[Giuseppe]

I guess if Lewis can make 21 million for being a horrible player for Orlando, Dirk definitely deserves his 20 million, especially considering he is 1000 times better than Lewis.

Neither one has a trace of championship gene. Nada, zip, zero.

[Roddy Beaubois]

do we need to break down his decade long list of choking in the playoffs?

son we're talking about individual accomplishments right now.

Pet , Hakeem, Elgin, Shaq, & Dirk.
Respect it.

[Giuseppe]

Amare is just as big a loser as Dirk is, cept he looks fancier losing as a chiseled black man.

[BRHornet45]

lmao!

[BRHornet45]

sons like I have said countless times before ... the ONLY hope Dirk ever has of winning a NBA le is whenever he is about 37 years old, signed for nearly the league minimum, and cheering from the bench while the brotha's win it for him.... as long as Dirk is the "leader" of his team, the Mavs will be lucky if they ever get out of the first round again.

[Giuseppe]

Well, at least we know they are guaranteed a first round exit... we know that's for sure. God, what a lame ass franchise and fan base.

Yep, set your watch.

And the ying-yangs are jumpin' around like Kori is in Maxim.

You are maximum 16, right?

[LakerHater]

Is his chick jailed in Dallas?

[BRHornet45]

Is his chick jailed in Dallas?

which one? lol ... Dirk has quite the reputation for knocking up crack head felons all over the country.

[Giuseppe]

Is his chick jailed in Dallas?

Yes, in the trans-gender cell block.

[BlackSwordsMan]

They segregate trannys from the gen pop because they usually are attacked first

[LakerHater]

LoL!!
Crystal Taylor, maybe thats why he didnt wanna leave?

Your schtick getting a bit weirder, culby. Its the offseason, and you realized #16 didn't fix your problems.

So, you're asking for mercy, dude, is that it?

Unselfish Dirk gives Mavs discount

Dirk Nowitzki cemented his status as the league's most unselfish superstar.

The greatest Maverick of all time gave Mark Cuban a significant hometown discount for two reasons: He's extremely loyal, and he desperately wants to leave a legacy of a champion in Dallas.

ESPN.com's Marc Stein reports that Dirk agreed to a four-year, $80 million contract -- $16.2 million less than a max deal he could have demanded. And he did so without even flirting with another franchise despite the Mavs' repeated early playoff exits in recent years.

Dirk and Cuban are essentially partners in the mission to make the Mavs champions. The discount eases the financial burden Cuban would assume by acquiring a legitimate superstar to pair with his future Hall of Fame power forward.

Dirk has done his part, sending a strong message to potential sign-and-trade targets in the process: He's more than willing to sacrifice to win.

[Giuseppe]

LoL!!
Crystal Taylor, maybe thats why he didnt wanna leave?

Uh, oh, if I don't feel like a horse's ass. I always thought that picture was of Tim Duncan's wife!

me.

[Giuseppe]

So? That doesn't mean he doesn't deserve it.

Nobody "deserve" a ring, Adam.

I hate when you little brains say such . Act like somebody, gd it.

[Roddy Beaubois]

So, you're asking for mercy, dude, is that it?

Mercy from you publicly daydreaming about Amare chest and Tony Parkers ass? Yes.

[ploto]

Good for Dirk-- nice guy.

Nowitzki also becomes just the second player in the league to secure a no-trade provision in his deal, which can only be added to new contracts -- not extensions -- when a player has at least eight years of NBA service time and four seasons with the same team.

[Roddy Beaubois]

son what kind of warrants does she have do you know?

He picked a semi-famous girl so there is no chance of her actually being a con artist. smart move imho.

[Giuseppe]

Tim Duncan has a white, disease-free wife...in fact most pro athletes of the dark persuasion do.

They kept saying she was good looking and then I'd see that picture and say to myself: "ok, I won't say anything, but, she ain't that good looking."

[mikeschy55]

Now that Dirk has taken less, the Mavs will probably match whatever Haywood is given by other teams.

Pierce was eligible for the exact same deal and took 20M less than Dirk.
