Luka Doncic, the Dallas Mavericks star, continues to make headlines for a record-breaking contract extension. The 25-year-old guard secured his fifth straight All-NBA first-team nod for the 2023–24 season, underscoring his elite status in the league. As he competes in the Western Conference Finals, another significant milestone looms on the horizon.
Eligibility for Historic Supermax Extension
Because of his All-NBA honors during the last two seasons, Doncic automatically becomes a candidate for the largest contract in NBA history. Doncic would be in line for a supermax extension worth 346,338,300 dollars in the 2025 offseason that can stretch for five years, and each year will amount to 69,267,660 dollars. According to Bobby Marks of ESPN, this figure demonstrates the opportunity to earn a lot of money if only Doncic could bring that performance onto a basketball court.
Current Contract and Future Projections
Doncic, the No. 1, is presently on his inaugural five-year, $215 million designated extension signed in 2022–23 and includes a player option of the year 2026–27.
Here’s the year-by-year breakdown of his potential supermax extension:
2026-27: $59,713,500
2027-28: $64,490,580
2028-29: $69,267,660
2029-30: $74,044,740
2030-31: $78,821,820
Thus, in the final season of the agreed contract, Luka Doncic would be 32 years old, which makes him one of the foundational players for the Mavericks.
Comparisons and Implications
The greatest contract extension at the moment is the most extended, with forward Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics inking a five-year, $300 million extension in the summer of 2023 that will begin next season. This one would do that, let alone Luka Doncic’s potential extension, which raises the bar for NBA contracts significantly.
Thus, while the fans and coaches enjoy Luka Doncic’s outstanding displays at the moment, his outlook on both the basketball court and financially is very bright. Thus, both the Mavericks and their fans expect not only his participation in the playoffs but also his initiatives in the future after signing a historical contract with the team.
