The Mavs GM job is not on Dirk Nowitzki’s agenda

no, Dirk Nowitzki will not be the heir of man which he himself condemnedNico Harrison. « I don’t think the role of CEO is relevant to me right now “, assures the German, who was particularly marked by the transfer of Luka Dončić, which was managed by the franchise’s former general manager.

The legend of the club prefers to put an end to the rumours, although he imagined that after his retirement he would join “ immediately » Mavericks management. ” However, the further I got away from the industry after my career ended, the less interested I became », he confided in the German edition of Sports Illustrated.

However, the current Prime Video consultant wouldn’t have the energy to keep up. ” It’s an absolute full-time job that I couldn’t imagine doing right now.
