Two More Big Names Off the Market

According to reports, both Dirk Nowitzki and Paul Pierce have agreed to re-sign with its team, the Dallas Mavericks and the Boston Celtics, respectively. 


Both players agreed to take less money in order to give their respective teams more financial flexibility in pursuing other free agents, trades or re-signing some of their own players. 


Will the decision to take less money to help out the team become a trend with other big name free agents?


Well, if the dream scenario of the "Big Three" in Miami is ever going to work out, it appears Chris Bosh will at least have to take less money. According to reports, the Raptors have now soured on the idea of doing a sing-and-trade to help Bosh get a little more money. 


Although there were brief rumors before free agency that Nowitzki might be interested in the Knicks, no one has expected him or Pierce to sign with anyone else, so this should not affect either the Knicks or the Nets' plans.
