Dirk Nowitzki team option has been declined with new deal likely

The Mavericks have declined Dirk Nowitzki's team option for next season and will begin to negotiate a new deal. He was supposed to make $25 million next season so a new deal makes sense for both parties and will likely be only a two-year deal. Look for him to sign with Dallas in the coming days.

Fantasy Impact:

Nowitzki remained a solid fantasy player this past season but isn't the same as his prime. He's still the 1B option for the Mavericks with Harrison Barnes the 1A. Continue to look for him in the middle of re-draft leagues but expect plenty of rest games this season.
