The super max would have allowed Doncic to sign a five-year, $345 million contract with the Mavericks this summer. Instead, the most the Lakers can offer him next offseason is a five-year, $229 million deal, according to ESPN, a whopping $116 million less than what he could’ve gotten from Dallas.

...and Luka will be paying California income taxes on whatever he gets from the Lakers, while Texas taxes him nothing. If weight was the issue, Luka ate himself out of over a hundred million dollars. Hope those Krispy Kremes were worth it.

Where do you get that weight was an issue. That is ridiculous.

He singlehandedly took the Mavs to the finals last year. The Mavs won't be better Anthony Davis, and they will sink in the standings from this point on.

Last year Doncic was #3 in the MVP race, and right now he is #4, but could still win it.

You think the Mavericks traded one of the best players in the NBA because he's not that good?

Your argument is insane. Why do you think Mavs fans are screaming. They had a chance for the finals, and now they will spend the next 5 years rebuilding. They are a manifestly worse team.

The state where they play will tax pro athletes for games played in that state.
The state where they live will tax them on their entire income with a credit for taxes paid to other states.
So net, Luka will end up paying state income taxes on all games not played in Florida or in Texas.
