Nowitzki's Mavericks Return: The 30-Row Spreadsheet and a Lesson in Trust

core_answer: Dirk Nowitzki is in early-stage talks to rejoin the Dallas Mavericks in an unspecified organizational role, according to DLLS Mavs. The report contains a factual error, misidentifying Masai Ujiri as Mavericks president; Ujiri leads the Toronto Raptors, and Nico Harrison is Dallas's GM.
key_facts: Nowitzki, 48, retired in 2019 after 21 seasons with Dallas; career total: 31,560 points.; Talks are at a 'very early stage' per Nowitzki; no immediate move is planned.; Ujiri is President of Basketball Operations for Toronto Raptors, not Dallas; Nico Harrison is Mavericks GM.; Nowitzki currently serves on the FIBA board and works as an NBA analyst.; Unverified claims of roster moves (e.g., Dort to Hawks) lack credible sourcing.
