There are also rumours about the next TV deal being much bigger and how that will impact the cap.
If the cap jumps massively then it would be better for Luka to be a free agent sooner.
People are saying the teams and player union will want to smooth the cap jump out over a few years.
But that doesn’t benefit the players much, just gives the owners more profit for a few years.
Ie smoothing the cap doesn’t benefit free agents in the years the cap is artificially lowered.
So Luka could opt for a player option a year earlier then expected and considering the shambles the Mavs are in they don’t have much to push back with.
