Update:  The Dallas Morning News is reporting that Dirk Nowitzki (PF) is feeling great after taking some time off in the offseason.  He usually has some sort of commitment to the German National Team, but did nothing but relax this year.  He feels "bouncier" than usual and is ready to go this season with the Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact:  Dirk is a top 10 player in fantasy drafts, and will prove that he deserves to be there this season.  Dallas has a new sense of power after their offseason acquisitions; namely Shawn Marion, Drew Gooden and Tim Thomas.  Look for Dirk to have another explosive year.
