German NBA star Dirk Nowitzki is reportedly poised to finish his career with the Dallas Mavericks after agreeing a three-year deal with his long-time club.
The deal is thought to be worth some $US30 million ($A32.5 million), ESPN said, and will maintain the no-trade clause that was in the previous contract Nowitzki signed in 2010.
Nowitzki has spent all 16 of his NBA seasons with the Mavericks, earning 12 All-Star appearances.
He was the NBA Most Valuable Player of the 2006-07 season and led the Mavericks to their first NBA title in 2011, when he was named MVP of the finals, in which Dallas defeated the Miami Heat.
Nowitzki recorded 21.7 points and 6.2 rebounds on average in 80 games last season before the Mavs were bounced in the first round of the playoffs by eventual champions the San Antonio Spurs.
For his career, the German forward has averaged 22.5 points and 8.1 rebounds, shooting 47.6 per cent from the field and 87.9 per cent from the free throw line in almost 1200 games.
The deal can't be made official until July 10, when the NBA's moratorium on signings is lifted.
