Luka Doncic could have signed a five-year, $345 million supermax contract extension with the Dallas Mavericks and had every intention of doing so and remaining with the franchise long-term.
“I know in talking to people around Luka Doncic over the past 72 hours, I was at that Lakers-Clippers game on Sunday, he had no intention of ever leaving Dallas,” said Shams Charania on The Pat McAfee Show. “He had just bought a new home in Dallas for a lofty, lofty price. He did not want to go anywhere.
“You think of a player coming from abroad. They are very committed. They are loyal. That’s how he viewed himself with the Mavericks. One team, one city, forever. I think that’s going to carry over to the Lakers. I think he’s loving his time in L.A.”
This offseason on August 2nd, Doncic becomes eligible to sign an extension with the Lakers for as much as $229 million over five years. Doncic can also sign a three-year, $165 million extension with a player option for 28-29 to coincide with his 10 years of service when he can sign at the 35 percent max.
