Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks have agreed to terms on a new three-year contract believed to be in the $30 million range, according to sources close to the situation.

The deal, sources said, contains a player option that would allow Nowitzki to return to free agency in the summer of 2016 and preserves the rare no-trade clause he had in his last contract.

No surprises here. Respectable amount, too.

Fair deal and like you said, not much of a surprise. Hopefully, we'll see him end his career in Dallas; it seems only appropriate.

we all knew he was staying, question was for how much. gonna be nice to see a player start and finish his career with 1 team. i assume kobe will also be doing it

That's it, that's all he gets from you folks? He gave up more money than I expected. It's a surprise to me he was willing to go that far for the team. Dirk is awesome.

This. 12 million is a huge fall. Good for him. Sad that no more rings though.
