When it comes to the long-term future with the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban talks about Luka Doncic's situation

On April 6, Mark Cuban talked about Luka Doncic's long-term future with the Dallas Mavericks, as per Dalton Trigg from Fan Nation's "Dallas Basketball."

"Look, players don't talk like that," Cuban said, "just like, 'Hey, I'm here for the next 17 years. (Luka would) like to be here (his entire career), but we've got to earn that. Win championships. It's amazing how that cures all. There's no great player, no superstar, where they don't question, 'What are you gonna do if you haven't won yet?"

Doncic has two more seasons left in his contract with the Dallas Mavericks before his player option kicks in for 2026-27. On Aug. 9, 2021, the Mavericks star signed a five-year, $207 million superstar rookie extension to remain the cornerstone of the franchise.

After a disappointing 2022-23 season (going 38-44 after a 52-30 run in 2021-22), the Mavericks are off to a better start this season. In the Western Conference standings, they are in third place (11-6) with a winning percentage of .647.

Luka Doncic is averaging 31.1 points (48.9% shooting, including 38.8% from 3-point range), 8.0 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game this season.
