Dirk Nowitzki reportedly agreed to a two-year extension with the Mavs on Tuesday.

He also weighed in on Kevin Durant picking the Warriors in free agency.

"Every player has to know for himself, what he wants to do," Nowitzki told Omnisport at a charity event in Germany. "Of course the NBA wanted to prevent this with the salary cap and the strike a couple of years ago. They wanted to prevent a team gathering three, four or even five star-players and get an easy road to the finals..."

Part of the reason the Warriors were able to land Durant is because of the massive salary cap spike this summer.

Last year, the salary cap was $70 million. It just jumped to $94.143 million.

It also doesn't hurt to have Klay Thompson ($16,663,575), Draymond Green ($15,330,435) and Steph Curry ($12,112,359) making less than their market value.

"Kevin is all about winning," Dirk added. "He was close a couple of times, but maybe he feels the pressure to win a championship."

The Thunder lost in the Western Conference Finals in 2011, the NBA Finals in 2012, the Western Conference Semifinals in 2013 and the Western Conference Finals in 2014 and 2016.

Oklahoma City missed the 2015 playoffs after Durant underwent season-ending foot surgery.

Nowitzki, who signed a team-friendly deal back in July 2014 to help the front office sign free agents, also offered his thoughts on the Mavs' offseason.

"We got Harrison Barnes, Bogut and I think the brother of Steph Curry," the 2011 NBA Finals MVP added. "It was a good day (Monday), but now let's wait and see how the team fills up. Then we will work on my contract.

"Those are details to be worked on. But we will find a way for both sides to be happy and then I will end my career in Dallas."
