Can't speak for anyone else, but I was so depressed and hopeless about this team last season, and so thrilled to see them finally start to add younger talent, presumably building towards something, that yes, if Luka asks out after this year, I'll still be alright with this summer. It's not what I hope happens, obviously, but then again, I don't want to keep duct taping teams around him, either. They finally did what they probably should've started doing the moment Giannis signed that extension. From my POV, better late than never.
I was on the verge of giving up on the Mavs, even with Luka. Now, I think there would be a glimmer of hope for someone following them even after he leaves (which I don't expect to happen, honestly).
At least there's something to look forward to, now. Some kind of hope.
