I do have one more tin foil conspiracy though...
Maverick Carter is trying to start up a rival league to the NBA, basically the LIV golf of basketball. Sounds like it will all be Saudi money seeing as he's trying to raise 5 billy for it. If Maverick Carter is involved, Rich Paul, Lebron, Nico and probably Pelinka are all involved to some extent since that's the general circle of folks who run around together. It will probably take a few years to get everything stood up, looks like they're trying to get 6 mens teams and 6 womens teams together to travel the globe and play each other. Luka now will probably sign a 2 year deal with a player option to get to 10 years of service to get back to the super max eligibility (that he very much deserved this offseason). If the league starting is timed with Luka's free agency and someone offers him a billion dollar contract to join this league instead...does he take it?

This story broke around the same time that Nico and Pelinka started talking to each other.
