Dirk Nowitzki, a 13-time All-Star and the face of the Dallas Mavericks’ franchise, would be willing to come off the bench if it’s in the team’s best interests next season.
One potential scenario would be Nowitzki transitioning to a sixth man role if the Mavs are successful in what sources say is their planned pursuit of Portland Trail Blazers power forward LaMarcus Aldridge, a Dallas native and perennial All-Star who will be a free agent this summer.
