The Dallas Mavericks and Luka Doncic quickly agreed on a historic contract extension. Luka led Slovenia to a top-four finish in the Olympic Games before returning to Ljubljana where he was met by the Mavs top decision-makers. They put pen to paper on a five-year $207 supermax extension on Aug. 10.
The deal is groundbreaking. Doncic is the first player to qualify for the Rose Rule extension before signing. Players must make an All-NBA team in two of the three seasons before the deal kicks in.
