Reports out of Wurzburg from a source close to Nowitzki says that the Mavericks all time leading scorer is all but certain to join Steve Nash in Phoenix. Reportedly, Dirk is frustrated with the Mavericks hesitation at offering the 32 year old a max contract and has had a heart to heart with Nash about a possible reunion. The two were spotted last Saturday taking in the World Cup soccer match between Germany and England. Citing NBA tampering rules, a source within the Suns who did not wish to be identified, would neither confirm or deny the report saying simply, "We are exploring any and all options."
Assuming Dirk does bolt for Phoenix, the Mavs are left with little room to maneuver and will likely target Joe Johnson in a sign and trade. Other possible options to fill the void left by Nowtizki's departure include local favorite Chris Bosh or veteran Brad Miller.
