Mavericks will offer Luka Doncic the 5-year $200M rookie extension once free agency begins

[Po pimp]

Nahhh you can make it happen if you really wanted to. You'd just have to sign the qualifying offer on the table and then you can become a restricted free agent the year after. Greg Monroe (former top 10 pick) did the exact thing with Detroit. Took the one year offer and signed in Milwaukee for $60 million the season after.

It fukks over the original team as it's essentially difficult to get equal value for that player with them still being on their rookie contract. No one has ever turned down a max rookie extension, so that's why a lot of people don't think that it can ever be done.

I forgot Ben Gordon did the same thing with the Bulls, but I'm not sure they really wanted to sign him to a long term contact

If a player doesn't want to be with a team long term, then just take the extension but put a player option in there to give yourself flexbility in the future. These young dudes can't be turning down that type of bread and taking chances early into their NBA careers lol.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

That means it would make no sense to reject a super max offer because if hypothetically Luka wanted to leave, he has no choice and he'd get even less money. If you're good, you're gonna stay with the team that drafted you a minimum of 7 seasons.

Unless you force a trade like KP did. Knicks fans were banking on that rookie extension.

 

[Rell84shots]

If they move KP for expirings and don't resign guys like THJ and Richardson they will have a max slot available for a FA.

The question is, do top players wanna play Luka Ball? I'm not sure I would if I were them.

The question is, Do top players want to come to Dallas? And the answer for years has always been NO. The Mavs always get players that used to be stars.

 

[Piff Perkins]

And none of those years he'll see anything close to the finals unless Cuban stops throwing big money at bums like KP

Cuban has to get smart. He has a generational talent who could be the face of the league in a couple years. The Mavs can't afford to sign bums in FA. The goal has to be complimenting Luca and getting him an actual #2. KP has proven he not only isn't reliable, he isn't a #2. Pair Luka with another great player and it will elevate his game

It's time to roll out the long term plan. Bron will be gone or irrelevant in a couple years. Multiple teams out west got young cores with superstars in tow. Mavs gotta be aiming to build this right or else Luka will bounce after the contract is up and you won't have shyt to show for it.

 

[Redguard]

Ain't no Serbians in Texas. Luka needs to give the Lakers a look. He's gonna end up like Dirk did on a bunch of bad teams. The one time he got on a good team Cuban blew it up instead of going for the repeat.

2027 he'll be LWO.....2026 if he makes it known he's not resigning

Pat Riley might be in the cut. He could get Dragic to talk with Luka.

 

[NoMorePie]

Get him kyle Lowry and they'll be a top 3 seed

 

[ALonelyDad]

He 100% deserves it, Mavs are also gonna be in that Blazers type of shyt where they won't have any capspace. Their best FA options this year are Lonzo or DeMar

 

[Rekkapryde]

Pat Riley might be in the cut. He could get Dragic to talk with Luka.

Dragic will be retired by then. Who cares

 

[Redguard]

Dragic will be retired by then. Who cares

We both know he won't be on the Lakers.

 

[93 til]

He deserves KP's money as well

$70mil a year

 

[the cool]

What's Cuban's track record for building title contenders? Luka should leave Dallas if he's smart.

And leave 200+ mil on the table??

 

[beenz]

if luka plays his cards right, he can fukk around and make over $500M in salary alone for his career

Got a feeling lauri markenen will be apart of the mavs roster next season

would u take KP if the mavs offered him for lauri and another player/players to match salaries?

 

[beenz]

Man I'm just glad NBA players getting paid. Sometimes I look at those contracts from the 90s and go


I be feeling some kinda way about it as if it was my money


I would be bitter as hell seeing these young cats getting paid while I got nothing but pennies.

at least the cats in the 90's were getting 7 figures. think about cats from the 70's and 80's. or even magic signing a 25 year $25M contract
