This seems like a financially motivated deal first, with winning being second. And that arrangement is significant in sports, if money is the main reason then you aren't doing it for winning.
But OTOH, Philly gave Embiid and George max deals and they did it with an eye towards winning. Now look at them. It worked out very well for Boston. Embiid will probably get shutdown for the rest of the season, and George has been a disaster all year. Philly is going to have to restructure their whole team, and Embiid's future is in doubt as he needs more surgery. Things don't always work out as planned. Bottom line, Dallas felt they could not win it all with Luka.
