You're only locked into this type of coverage if you have a coach that doesn't have the balls to sit Gobert and go small. Contract size shouldn't (and if the coach is good doesn't) matter.
I remember when Shaq, D12, and several other centers were taken out of the majority of the quarter when hack-a-shaq was a thing.
Hypothetically the Mavs can always go small with DFS/Luka/Bullock/Dinwiddie as the core. I'd include Brunson too but who knows if he's used to bring in Gobert.
