Despite reports to the contrary, and their horrific finish, Luka Dončić apparently has no desire to get out of Dallas.
The Mavericks star, speaking after their season-ending 138-117 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday, insisted that he is still committed to the franchise long term.The Mavericks finished the season 38-44, their first losing season since Dončić’s first with the team, and officially missed the playoffs. They went an awful 7-25 in the last two months of the season despite their acquisition of Kyrie Irving just before the trade deadline.
With the struggles, it’s easy to wonder how long Dončić will be content to stay in Dallas. ESPN reported earlier this week that there was fear internally that Doncic was going to request a trade as soon as next summer.via ESPNDončić finished the season with a career-high 32.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and eight assists. The 24-year-old just finished the first year of a five-year, $215 million deal.
Irving, after Dallas’ loss on Sunday, declined to participate in exit interviews with reporters. He is set to be a free agent this summer, and said when he first got to Dallas that he wouldn’t talk about his future until after the season ends.
