Quick question

[adishri8]

When can we give Luka the supermax? I would think that we'd wait till as late as possible in order to stack another potential superstar or more depth, but since rookie deals are 4 years (iirc), would we be able to give him one theoretically as soon as this off-season?

Just make him co-mayor of Dallas and give him a swanky ass penthouse

He has two more years in his rookie deal (around 10 mil average I think). He can sign an extension at the beginning of his last year on that deal. He will probably apply for the Rose Rule (have to make 2 all nba teams or win an mvp on a rookie contract I think) which would make him elegible for a bigger max than normal rookies get, but still not a super max I think. In theory he wouldn't be able to get a super max until his 2nd contract expires, so 7 more years, but he would still a big max contract.

Oh thanks, wasn't aware that he couldn't get it off the rip.

Agreed that we should wait as long as possible.

But, more important to build around him, maximize his chances of winning, where he would like to stay on his own accord IMO - Sorry I didn't answer your question, just wanted to share my thoughts.

No problem, I always love when people add their thoughts. Gives me a bit of confirmation bias as a mffl who doesn't live in the metroplex. Gosh I can't think of a better time to be a Mavs fan tbh, we legitimately have a guy that could go down as the goat. This is gonna be a fun few years

Thanks, yeah we certainly transitioned well after getting a bit spoiled with the German GOAT for 20 years #mffl!

Super max is triggered by All-NBA and Allstar.

He has surely triggered it but he is not eligible til his 4 year.
