It was after Bill Simmons suggested on his podcast Luka should play out his rookie contract to see what the Moron Brain Trust comes up with before foolishly committing himself like Giannis.
They suggested he could sign a max deal with the Knicks and get a monsterous bonus from Nike for playing in New York City, so he can more than make up any losses. Breaking the last barrier of the player empowerment era, the guaranteed control of the rookie extension.
The swag of Luka rocking MSG must a wet dream for the Nike/NBA marketing department.
Maybe Cuban should be a bit concerned about it. Funny times ahead.
Luka is on record saying he wants to follow in Dirk's footsteps and stay here as long as the Mavs want him. While that opinion could certainly change, there's no way he throws in the towel this early.
