This is only a hot take because, mind-blowingly, I haven't seen anyone, anywhere, mention it.
If the Mavs don't win a chip in this season or the next... I can see Luka taking his talents to SLC. Or worse (for Mavs fans), to the Lakers. Be honest, if he was gonna leave, would you rather he go to the Lakers or to the Jazz?
This will only happen after securing his super-max extension though, like AD did.
Utah is a bad city.
