By now, any fan that watches the NBA knows that there will be a bunch of good players that will become free agents in 2010. The New York Knicks have already cleared their salary cap in anticipation of getting Lebron James and others from that free agency pool.
Now, according to the Dallas Morning News, Dirk is willing to take a pay cut for the Mavs to be able to compete for these free agents.
"I'm very fortunate that I've made a lot of money in this league, even though I've never really played for money. I love the sport. I love this organization. Obviously, I want to win. I won the MVP, and individually, there's nothing really left but winning a championship ... If that means I have to play for less money, it's all possible. It's all open."
Dirk has an option to also become a free agent in 2010, but he wants to stay in Dallas and will take a pay cut to get better teammates. Now, that's a team player!
