If Mavs star Luka Doncic is named to the All-NBA team this season, he can sign a supermax deal for next year.
The Mavs explain how Luka Doncic could make $83 million a year in Dallas
And Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic is about to get paid a huge amount of money. The NBA is still making a lot of money.
Do not worry, Mavs fans. He will not be leaving any time soon unless someone makes a deal. The star player from Slovenia is about to begin the second season of the $215 million, five-year deal he signed with the Mavericks in 2021 as a “designated rookie.” Doncic should sign a new long-term deal with Dallas soon if money is what matters to him the most.
Robert Marks, an expert on salary caps for ESPN, says that Doncic can get a $318 million, five-year supermax deal in 2025 if he is named All-NBA again this season. The deal would start with the 2026–27 season and last until the 2030–31 season. He will likely make a huge $83.6 million in the last year of that great deal. Stephen Curry makes the most money in the league right now, with more than $30 million more.
Luka Doncic and the Mavericks agree to a $207 million supermax contract.
Doncic will only be 31 years old at the start of the next ten years. He is still very much at his best. People say that the NBA wants $7-8 billion a year from its next TV partner. The NBA is about to sign a new TV deal for 2025–2026. The salary cap will go up even more.
The Mavs have agreed to a record-setting $207 million extension for Luka Doncic’s contract.
Do not forget that the price cap affects how much a player gets paid. NBA rules about the highest wage mean that some stars, like Doncic, can not make as much money for their teams and the league as a whole. By 2030–31, he will likely be worth a lot more than $83.6 million.
With just six words and a smile, Luka Doncic gave away $200 million about his future with the Mavericks.
The more interesting question? What will happen with Doncic’s last year of his supermax deal with the Mavericks? Will he have already found a new team and signed a new deal before asking Dallas to let him go?
