They would go into luxury tax for a star but there are penalties that make trading harder, you get a worse MLE and so on so it's not worth doing unless you are ready to lock in your team. Cubes has plenty of money I don't think that's an issue.
Thinking longterm. If the Mavs are close to the luxury tax line and add a lot of longterm salary they will be over the tax line when Luka gets his max. I think it is very likely that Cuban wants to avoid the tax as long as there are any doubts about the Mavs chances to contend.
