hes going to opt out in order to renegotiate his contract

this frees up money for Lebron, Wade, and Bosh :clap:

Lebron should come to Dallas.

This state needs a new big star.

You really think Bosh would do anything without Dirk in the lineup too?

You lose Dirk what appeal does Dallas then have to Lebron as far as personell around him it begins to look a lot like Cleveland. I mean the Lebron sweepstakes landing in Dallas is a long shot already but without Dirk there is no chance.

Dirk isn't leaving. He's trying to rework his contract.

yeah...without dirk staying in dallas none of those other guys would even think about coming!

If Dirk is just restructuring why would he need to opt for free agency? Athletes renegotiate all the time and never enter free-agency.

he will be able to get more money and he will also be able to add a no trade clause if he chooses!

I think that's his goal. I also think he'd be open to Phoenix if they came calling.

Dirk doesnt need to be paid anymore he is paid enough. He is paid more than everyone except for like 4 players in the league.
