Dirk Nowitzki had a good day Saturday.
First, Germany waxed Argentina in the World Cup.
Then, he agreed to terms on a new four-year contract with the Mavericks.
Break out the vuvuzelas.
While everybody involved figured there was never a reason for concern, it still was a sigh of relief for Mavericks nation when Nowitzki and adviser Holger Geschwindner agreed to the deal that will keep the 7-foot power forward in Dallas until 2014.
"Yes, we have a deal," Geschwindner said late Saturday.
Though terms were not immediately known, the contract could be worth as much as $96 million over four years.
