Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki spoke with KTCK-AM’s Hardline on Wednesday, here are some of the highlights:

On NBA free agency:

“I’m anxious. We’d love to get D-Will (Deron Williams) in here. That’s no secret. If you look at the league now, if you look at those top teams, they all have two or three playmakers you can hand the ball to and they do their thing. We just need to get better. I think we have some question marks going into the summer. We signed Rick (Carlisle) for four years so we got that out of the way. Now, it’s time to get some players in here and get better. I always said we’re not happy losing in the first round. We feel like we need to compete every year at the highest. We’ll see what happens.

“We’d love to have him run the show here. We’ll see what he decides. I hope we have a good shot.”
