Former Maverick Michael Finley believes Nowitzki can still attract star power to Dallas

Despite Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki only having a few more years of being one of the NBA's top scorers, former teammate Michael Finley believes that the German is still a big enough star to attract big name free agents to Dallas. 

"I think Dirk has two or three more years in him to play at the level he’s accustomed to playing at," Finley told EJ Holland of the Dallas Morning News. "And with that, hopefully some good things can come to Dallas."

The pair played together from 1998-2005, a time when both players were All-Stars and Nowitzki developed into one of the league's best scorers. While Finley retired in 2010, Nowitzki continues on, and now at 35, he averaged 21.7 points on 49 percent shooting over 80 games this season. 

With cap space and an abundance of star power hitting the free-agent market, Finley, who now works in the Mavericks front office, has confidence in what Dallas has to offer in order to make a splash this offseason. 

"We have money to spend. Hopefully, some of those key free agents will want to come to Dallas," Finley said. "We have a great city, we have a great organization and hopefully they’ll come by."
