2 I am not saying it couldn't be a 4+1. More that the Mavs shouldn't just assume they have an extra year to figure it out.
1 Yes, but I'm not disagreeing on what Luka might want. I'm instead reminding that what Luka prefers is not the ONLY thing that will determine the contract length and terms. It is not a one-party decision.
2 Don't forget the Mavs should know the terms of the upcoming Luka deal (and its ramifications) very quickly, perhaps already, so they won't need to assume anything. And I would expect the Mavs already see this summer as one of urgency, so I doubt a 3+1 or a 4+1 or a 5 will change that approach, whatever it is.
