@ESPNSteinLine Story online soon @espn: Mavs and Dirk Nowitzki have come to terms on the framework of a new two-year, $40 million deal, league sources say.
 
Dirk at least getting paid.

I'm going to need ESPN to come up with a stat showing how many teammates Dirk has had in is 19 year career
 
Obviously they're better, but coming from their peak last season... How much better could they realistically be? They were the best team last year (And slipped up obviously), how much higher can you get from there

They're not going to go 80-2 if that's what you're asking. They might not even go 73.

But they should be significantly harder to beat in a playoff series. How is anyone going to be able to guard any kind of pick and roll lol.

and also how many 2 and 3 time teammates. Devin Harris and JJ Barea seem like they have been on 4 or 5 teams but they always find their way back

It's hard to imagine gsw having a top 10 defence without Bogut. Also, who will collect the rebounds and defend the paint?

We've seen how much they suffered when Bogut went out last year.
Zaza is a solid rebounder, with respective to other centers. Durant is the best rebounding SF in the league. Dray is just decent.

Solid rebounder and solid interior scorer (not really needed though), but not a rim protector. Their offense will take two steps forward but their defence will take a few steps back.

Bogut's contribution was very underrated.
 
Warriors make the finals but who's coming out the East? Yea the Cavs "swept" their way there but it wasn't even close to a cakewalk.
 
You CANNOT double this Dubs team. They shut down Curry yes but there is no team that is capable of shutting down Curry, Klay, and DURANT in a 7 game series. Its just not happening. With Dray's playmaking? If they stay healthy and figure it out during the first half of the season they WILL be champs next year.

That's why the game is played on the court and not on paper.
 
Cuban would do this after Wade rejects 2/40 offer, but to be fair Dirk was pulling more at a lower cap at Wade's age
 
After seeing dude shoot up his jersey I'm rocking with KD decision. **** these cities they don't own you
 
Real talk though, Boston and LA are the only two teams that would trade for him and offer just compensation.

True, but the assets LA has are supposedly foundational soon to be superstars D'Angelo, Clarkson, and Randle, assuming Engram is kept. But even then, why in the world would Westbrook even think about re-signing there when those young pieces would be gone??
