Luka Doncic is on a rookie contract and signed an extension that is to begin the following season. Therefore, he has what is known as a "poison pill" contract. He can no longer be traded for a player making equal money. Instead, his current salary is averaged along with the salaries he is to receive in his extension, and that average becomes his incoming salary for trade purposes. His outgoing value for the Mavericks will be $10.1M while his incoming value for the receiving team will be $36.2M.
Team Option
Luka Doncic currently has a team option for the Mavericks this season. The Mavericks may decide to decline their option which would make him an unrestricted free agent. You may accept or decline this option, by default it will be accepted. You may also update his contract to perform actions such as a Sign & Trade.
This trade would result in the Mavericks crossing the tax apron of ($143.0M) while hardcapped. Therefore this trade is not possible. Remove $4.1M of incoming value to remain below the hard cap.
Hard Cap Reasons
Used more than taxpayer portion ($5,890,000.00) of their mid-level exception to sign Reggie Bullock ($9,536,000).. Used their bi-annual exception to sign Sterling Brown ($3,000,000).
Financial
Mavericks are unable to complete this trade. Since they are now a taxpaying team after this trade, they are only able to take back 125% of the salary they are sending out, plus $100,000.
Mavericks can only take back $52.3M in salary based on the amount they are sending out.
Cut $16.6M from the Mavericks incoming trade value to make this trade successful for the Mavericks.
