The reasons have to do with when he becomes eligible for a super-max contract (the one after the rookie max) and when the TV deal changes. [url=https://www.patreon.com/mavspod/posts][/url]
Dameris is correct that Luka's preference might be for a 3+1 deal.
At the same time, it's a 2-sided negotiation, not a "whatever you want" exercise. The Mavs will put a full 5-year max on the table, with all the bells and whistles.
History tells us that the top players end up getting a compromise at 4+1.
