Dallas Mavericks president Donnie Nelson will offer Dirk Nowitzki a new contract on Thursday during a meeting at Nowitzki’s home in Dallas.
“I’m going to show up on his doorstep, get on one knee and hope he says, ‘I do,’ “ Nelson said. “We’re hopeful and optimistic he will re-sign.”
The Mavericks expect to re-sign Nowitzki, who opted out of his contract this week.
“They’re going through all the hoops, but I’d be shocked if he went anywhere else,” a source close to the situation said. “He’s going to get [a new contract] done before they change the rules and structure of the collective bargaining agreement.
“I’d say the chances of him leaving are slim to none. Dirk is a loyal guy. He and Mark Cuban are as close as they come. It would be shocking if he talked to other teams.”
