From what I’ve read Mavs didn’t want to give him max contract…

I wouldn't either. Only 25 years old, already getting fat, and he gets injured every year. He's only averaged 66 games played his first 6 full years in the league, so he misses about 20% of the games.

That's not bad at all by today's standards.

Not worth $69 million/year by any reasonable standards, and I'm all for players getting paid whatever they can.
I agree that nobody is worth that but when healthy he’s top 3 in league. I’m thinking this will motivate him & Lakers will be tough out in playoffs

He's soft and doughy at 25 years old, as a professional athlete. Not very professional. He's going to be a fat slob by 30, and his injuries will become more frequent as a result.

If I'm an owner, and you want me to invest $300+ million in you, you had better invest in yourself.

Luca got exactly what he deserved, he cost himself $116 million dollars over these next 5 years. Hopefully he and others will learn from this.

Oh, and I forgot..... HE DOESN'T EVEN PLAY DEFENSE!!!!!!

I agree with this, and I believe before too long so will the NBA.

I never understood how a professional basketball player could be fat. You have to eat 5k/day of pure shit. I’m sure the LA doctors will prescribe Doncic some Ozempic and HGH and fix that up for him
