Dallas All-Star forward Dirk Nowitzki opted out of the final year of his contract but do not expect any changes to the NBA betting sports book odds on the Mavericks as Nowitzki will probably re-sign.

Although Nowitzki is a premier competitor in basketball gambling on the free agent market, very few people at the offshore sports book think he will leave Dallas.

Sports book odds are highly affected by the play of the Dallas forward. Nowitzki is thought to be 1 of the greatest players in the league and he has headed the Mavericks in scoring for several seasons. Dallas is very assured that they will have the capacity to re-sign Nowitzki. He’s the all-time leading scorer and rebounder for the Mavericks and he should return. He opted out of his contract with the Mavericks but it was basically a matter of procedure that may make him more money. He has no genuine motivation to leave Dallas. Nowitzki averaged 25 points and 7.7 rebounds per game last season to lead the Mavericks.

Nowitzki was drafted 9th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 1998 NBA Draft, and was immediately traded to the Mavericks, where he has performed ever since. The celtics had in fact desired to draft him with their number 10 pick, but were thwarted by a bargain worked out between the Mavericks and the Bucks to draft Nowitzki so as to trade him for other players.

Nowitzki is the 1st European-born competitor in NBA history to obtain the NBA MVP award and he is a nine-time NBA All-Star and 10-time member of the All-NBA Teams. His tall seven-foot frame, put together with his shooting accuracy, makes him a difficult defensive assignment, because he can shoot over most players. He’s the 34th competitor in NBA history, and the 1st European to hit the 20,000 point landmark.

The advantages for Nowitzki were just too major to ignore, despite the fact that the Mavericks attempted to get Nowitzki to sign a deal before he became a free agent. He may negotiate a no-trade clause into his up coming contract. There is only 1 competitor in the league that has an active no-trade clause and that competitor is Kobe Bryant. Nowitzki will most likely be the next competitor to get that worked into his deal.

The Mavericks are claimed to be in the mix for Cleveland’s LeBron James although offshore sports book insiders say that Dallas has very little possibility of getting James. Even though Dallas probably will not get James, the Mavericks think they will be able to get a top free agent to come along with Nowitzki to Dallas. Joe Johnson would like to play with Jason Kidd while Chris Bosh is a Dallas native.

Nowitzki becoming a free agent doesn’t actually worry the Mavericks excessive. They are extremely assured that Nowitzki will re-sign with them. Other teams around the league also think that Nowitzki will return to Dallas. No other teams have demonstrated an interest because they do not think they have a realistic chance to sign him. Mark Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks, has given no indication he will let Nowitzki get away.
