I call Mavs in the Finals again next year but with Luka and everyone else healthy.
I called it.
Not sure why I didn’t think of this other years. – 9:42 AM

Last thought about #nbafinals
Still can’t believe a team that has Luka (even hobbled) &Kyrie would lose because they couldn’t score. To not score 100 in all 4 losses & <90 in 2 was not on the bingo card. They were held to <100 7x (Inc last 2 when no one played) in reg season – 9:29 PM

More on this storyline
“Luka Dončić is one of us!” Serbia fans trash talk Slovenians ahead of their matchup at #Euro2024 😂 -via x.com / June 20, 2024
Having signed the supermax rookie deal and been named to the All-NBA 1st team in both 2023 and 2024, Doncic becomes eligible for the higher maximum salary offered in a “supermax” deal. Players with between seven and nine years of experience are usually capped in the first year of a maximum salary contract at only 30 percent of the salary cap, but those meeting the “supermax” criteria – which two All-NBA Team appearances satisfies – can start at 35 percent instead. The fact that this deal cannot be signed until next summer is not really relevant to this summer, as everything will need budgeting for now. If he does not want to wait to sign a supermax extension, Doncic can sign an extension this summer, one that is capped at a 30 percent starting salary. But it seems unnecessary for him to wait. -via HoopsHype / June 19, 2024
