The Dallas Mavericks could see all their championship hopes gone next year if they fail to make a statement in the NBA. The team just got eliminated from playoffs contention after a loss to the Chicago Bulls, and now the alarms are set.
The Texan team could see their superstar leave next season if they don’t make big improvements.
Team sources have acknowledged to ESPN that fear exists that Doncic, who publicly and privately expressed extreme frustration this season, could consider requesting a trade as soon as the summer of 2024 if Dallas doesn’t make significant progress by then.
This could become a big issue for the Mavericks, who aren’t an attractive team for free agents, and having Luka gave them hope to land big names. They traded for Kyrie Irving ahead of the 2023 trade deadline, but this experiment didn’t work as expected.
The team plans to re-sign Irving this offseason, which could work wonders or become a big problem for them. It seems like these moves will have a big role in Luka’s decision for next season. They made it to the Western Conference Finals in 2022 and couldn’t even make it to the play-in tournament this season.
Jason Kidd Admitted Mavericks Lost Game Against Bulls On Purpose
The front office is apparently working on a master plan to add more talent to their roster. After the Chicago Bulls game, Jason Kidd admitted that Mark Cuban and Nico Harrison wanted to see a bad result for the team so they could get a better pick in the upcoming NBA Draft.
Perhaps keeping Kyrie on the roster and adding a lottery pick will help the Mavericks convince Luka to stay beyond next season, but they need to make some moves to secure their success. This is a complex situation for them, as Luka has tried very hard to lead them to the NBA Finals, but they need to build the right team around the Slovenian player.
