Is there any point to even bringing back AD this year?

No way Luka would leave the mavs because of the supermax contract.....Even Giannis stay with the bucks because of the supermax contract in 2020
The supermax contract is like 110 millions more that a normal max contact if he was to leave Dallas from free agency.No way it would happens....
We don't know for sure but I think he would leave. He already has a lot of money plus he can make a **** of money from endorsements in LA anyways.
Giannis stayed because the Bucks were a contender. The current Mavs especially given this Kyrie Injury are just not. Different situations.
Money is not everything but when this is 110 millions,this is a major difference.No player who could have the super max leave their team from free agency in this decade

I hate to shift this, but does this give Nico more time? This kind of feels like something you could use as a time buying scenario like “hey we coulda contended with AD and Kyrie, it’s not our fault they got hurt”

it was a freak accident. There's no way to say one way or another whether this happens if Doncic is still on the roster.

I don't think so because Kyrie is turning 33 in March and is already very injury prone and AD is turning 32 in March and is also very injury prone.
Maybe relying on two injury prone players that are already in their 30s is not a very good idea.
Dallas fans may have been able to stomach trading Luka if they got a a couple young rising prospects and a treasure trove of 1st round picks, but all they got was AD.

Obviously not but playing him nearly 40mpg night after night probably didn’t help. This concern was brought up by many at the time of the trade.

Djoker wrote:I know it won't make Mavs fans feel any better but IMO this Kyrie injury would completely derail them even if Luka wasn't traded. With Kyrie out this year and possibly all of next year too, the Mavs aren't making any noise in the playoffs. What are the odds that Luka would even re-sign in 2026? I'd say slim to none. We also don't know this publicly but I'm pretty close to 100% sure that Luka was traded in the first place because he told the organization that he's leaving next year and they wanted to get something for him.
