Rick Carlisle says that Dirk Nowitzki will likely come off the bench this season

During the Dallas Mavericks media day, head coach Rick Carlisle said that there are good chances that Dirk Nowitzki will come off the bench this season. With the arrival of DeAndre Jordan, it seems like a smart idea to move Nowitzki to second unit:

"Nowitzki will likely come off the bench this season," Carlisle said. “He doesn’t want a farewell tour. I don’t blame him. Those are for some guys, other guys not.”
