HALLELUKA: Luka Clinches All-NBA 1st team. 4th in 5 years

It's possible. Hell, anything is possible in this player empowerment era. 

But, my gut is with @"DanSchwartzgan" on this. I feel like he sticks it out to the end of this deal to get his super max contract and then finds an escape rout. 

And just so you don't think I'm trying to give the Mavs a break, I'm currently about 80% he's in another uniform a couple of seasons after signing that deal.

It's a solid theory, but he's going to be the face of the league so his shoe deals and other endorsements can help bridge his payroll gap.  It's another reason to get out of Dallas and into a bigger market.
