This is going to be a great summer for wound
Doncic. The Slovenian has announced his intention to defend the colors of Slovenia in the pre-Olympic and, if victorious, will go to the JJOO from Tokyo. Not happy with that, Luka could also sign a multi-million dollar contract extension.
The contractual offer to which you are exposed Doncic it is historical. No player on contract rookie, as the Slovenian is currently, he has never signed for a figure of this magnitude. According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, Luka could be facing an extension of 201.5 million of dollars.
The fact that Doncic has already been chosen for one of the best quintets in the league (It takes into account that of last season, although it will surely repeat this year), it validates him to aspire to the maximum. Would become the first player to sign an extension for the maximum, exceeding 200 ‘kilos’.
According to the figures provided by Marks, Luka’s contract throughout the next seasons it would look like this: 34.7 million during the 2022-2023 season, which would climb to a 45.9 million in 2026-2027. All this, basing the calculations on a salary cap of 115 ‘kilos’ for next season.
Obviously, no one can offer Doncic anything like that in another franchise. Even if they could, it would be the big surprise of the decade in the NBA if Luka decided to separate his path from that of the Mavericks. In Dallas he feels comfortable and has become the favorite player of the fans, who see him as dirk’s heir.
A few days ago Marc Stein, a NYT journalist, indicated that everything indicated that Luka would sign his extension without thinking too much. “I think you already know the answer to that“The player commented with a laugh the day after losing in the playoffs to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Now it’s a matter of looking at the dates. Officially, Luka You can’t sign anything until August 6or. The tournament pre-olympic will take place between June 29 and July 4 and some hypothetical JJOO they would have Doncic busy until August 8.

To put in context the absurd amount of money that the player could win with this contract, it is enough to note that only 22 players in the entire history of the league have collected more than 200 million in their entire career. That is, Luka will achieve more than the vast majority of the NBA over 5 seasons.
The Mavericks have no reason to refuse to offer Luka whatever the Slovenian asks for. The near future of Texans passes through Doncic’s hands and they know it. Now, the goal will be being able to surround you with the best possible pieces to complete a puzzle that can make you champion.
