Dirk Nowitzki stated during his final exit interview in April that he would be "honored" to join Dallas Mavericks ownership one day, and it sounds like Mark Cuban is on board with the idea.

Cuban shared his thoughts on Nowitzki becoming part of the organization in an interview with Dalton Trigg of DallasBasketball.com.

"Absolutely," Cuban said. "I'll have the convo with Dirk in the future. There is a lot of things involved to make it all work. But it would be awesome."

In the meantime, the Mavs will honor Nowitzki with silhouettes of the future Hall of Famer on their court for the 2019-20 NBA season. Cuban has also promised him a jersey retirement and statue.
