Until this trade, Doncic was eligible to receive a five-year, $345 million supermax extension from the Mavericks this offseason, and in recent weeks there had been rumblings about whether Dallas and its franchise face were headed to a precarious crossroad:

Would Dallas offer the supermax? Would Doncic take it, or play one more season and enter unrestricted free agency?
Now that hes been traded, however, Doncic no longer is eligible for that supermax extension.

We really feel like we got ahead of what was going to be a tumultuous summer, him being eligible for the supermax and also a year away from him being able to opt out of any contract, Harrison said. And so we really felt like we got out in front of that. We know teams, theyve had it out there, teams have been loading up to try to sign him once that comes available.
