MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

I think you are vastly underestimating European sports clubs in general. 
Bayern Munich is a wealthy club which takes pride in not being sellers but buyers. They won't put their season on the line by selling their newly acquired star basketball coach midseason for a few million dollars. It's just not that kind of club. Their volume 2022 was 665 million Euro and their capital resources are about 504 million Euro. (Although I don't know if that is just the football department or the whole club.) For comparison: The Mavs volume 2021 was 231 million dollars, rougly one third of Bayern Munich's. (sources: google)

Furthermore, my guess is that Pablo Laso wouldn't request to leave Bayern Munich just after signing a new contract with them. This is basically never happening in European sports. Bayern Munich will never do that, especially because they probably won't have a quick solution for a new coach to replace Laso with. However...maybe they would consider a coaching swap: J Kidd for Laso.

I hope this adds some clarity to the discussion.

Edit: Bayern Munich's basketball department works with less money, of course. However due to being part of the whole club they don't have to rely on much money coming in via selling players or coaches I would guess.

On point.
Bayern München Basketball will not let Laso go only because of money.

They want to win and are one of the best operated sports organization from a financial perspective. If they let him go, then only because they believe he won't work out as hoped for.

At this point, there is not even the option that they would replace him with someone they like better, because it's just way too early for this and more importantantly: who would this be?

And even if: Mavs would have to pay a real premium to get them to let him go. That's how they operate. The only exception was just recently for Julian Nagelsmann, for whom they didn't ask any money even they payed 25 million € to get him, because he moved on to the DFB (german football association).
