Luka Doncic is committed to winning with the Dallas Mavericks

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic is in the first season of a five-year rookie max extension worth $215.1 million. There was little question he would extend, especially after being named to two All-NBA teams and earning a Rose Rule escalator. Doncic has a player option in the final season, so the front office has worked to do right now.

The Mavs have three years to build a legitimate title contender around number 77, and it starts in the summer of 2023. Dallas will give their first-round pick to the Knicks from the original Kristaps Porzingis trade, but after the draft, they will have a full cupboard of first-rounders to deal. The Mavericks need to acquire a second star that helps push them into serious title contention.

For his part, Luka has always been committed to winning in Dallas, and he reaffirmed his commitment in a recent interview with WFAA. Here is a look at the latest.
