Dirk Sticking With Dallas Through 2010-11

Sep 26, 2006 9:15 PM EST

Dirk Nowitzki is sticking with the Dallas Mavericks at least through the 2010-11 season.

A week before opening training camp, the Mavs made sure their superstar forward remains under contract for the next five seasons with a lucrative extension Tuesday. Nowitzki, 28, already was signed for the upcoming season and had a $16 million-plus option for 2007-08 under the maximum contract he signed in 2001. The new deal guarantees that season, plus tacks on three more. He'll turn 33 the summer his new contract expires.

Terms of the deal were not released, but with basic raises the extension is likely worth around $60 million.

Mavs And Howard To Work On New Contract

Sep 21, 2006 1:26 AM EST

On Wednesday, Mavericks' owner Mark Cuban said that the club will continue to discuss an extension on the contract of Josh Howard.

Donnie Nelson hopes to have the deal finalized prior to the start of training camp.

"Everybody prefers to find the common ground and get some security for both sides," Nelson said. "We're going in a decent direction and there's a pretty good possibility something can get done. But there's no real sense of urgency. If for some reason nothing happens, then he plays for us this season and we revisit it next summer."
