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打完第七战时 他感觉累透了 Dirk说他这季平均上场快40分钟 打了快100场比赛对他来说负担相当大 Dirk说他觉得他没有太多余力重新再来一次 把比赛水准打的更高 不过他觉得他整季只缺了2场比赛 Dirk的季後赛结束了 他也决定展望未来 Donnie Nelson说小牛绝对会跟Dirk续约的 他从第一天就在小牛队 小牛这几年的成就都围绕Dirk 当然合约的事情还有很多谈价空间 只是我们相信最後Dirk会留下来 另外Dirk很注重球队的未来性 我们相信可以谈出一个合理的价钱 Dirk方面则是说 他不会想续一个像Kobe一样的大约 我希望我可以领到一个受尊重的价码 并同时保留球队的竞争性 四年前Dirk曾降薪总价15M 下季预计一年领10~12M Dirk说这季开打前 没有人认为他能继续保持这状态 他认为自己未来仍可以保持健康并打出高水准比赛 --
