28 Luka trades: What every NBA team could have offered the Mavs What if every team had the chance to trade for Luka? Bobby Marks puts on his GM hat to concoct 28 blockbusters.

We asked the biggest hypothetical question of the year:

What would happen if Luka Doncic was made available to all 29 teams.

Evan Mobley has now met the 65 game criteria and is eligible for postseason honors.

Prior to tonight, Mobley had played 66 games but only 64 met the criteria.

For the past 2 months, we have been tracking every transaction and applying how each applies to the CBA/salary cap.

A great learning resource and it’s free!

The doc gets updated daily when there’s a transaction.

Too-early NBA offseason preview: 10 questions on Luka, Durant, Trae and major summer moves Will trade deadline chaos carry into the offseason? Here's what Bobby Marks is watching the closest, including a superstar set for the richest contract in NBA history.

An early look at the 2025 offseason

Everyone is up for grabs except Johnson, Risacher, Daniels and Okongwu

Win now. Clock is ticking.

02.02.2025 22:23 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Yes

02.02.2025 22:00 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Need to see him on the court to maximize his value.

02.02.2025 21:54 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Great question. This thing is taking a nose dive. They do not make trades during the regular season. Last one was in 2021.

02.02.2025 21:52 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

San Antonio with the picks. Certainly did not have an AD level player that they wanted.

02.02.2025 21:52 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

I do believe there is a pressing need in LAL for a center

02.02.2025 21:51 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Just posted a graphic. Earliest is Aug. 2

If you are New Orleans, you would want expiring contracts and a first. Toronto has to watch out for finances in 2025-26

02.02.2025 21:49 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

There is certainly some dialogue going on. If it was close, Fox would not have played last night.

02.02.2025 21:47 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Focus is likely going to be on the picks coming back if there is a deal.

02.02.2025 21:47 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

I would say unlikely

02.02.2025 21:44 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Biggest concern was giving him a five-year $345M guaranteed contract. Look at Philadelphia and Embiid. That could be an albatross and hinder Philly.

02.02.2025 21:44 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

I think there is always uncertainty when a player could be a free agent. Luka signing an extension is also a focus.

02.02.2025 21:43 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

It is a really good question and there are certainly concerns how he and Luka fit together, especially on D.

02.02.2025 21:41 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Zero. I was brushing my teeth and ready to get under the covers!

02.02.2025 21:39 β€” πŸ‘ 8    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 1

It certainly could have been. However, the acquiring team would need to know if he is extending in the summer, same as with Fox.

02.02.2025 21:39 β€” πŸ‘ 5    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Would be really surprised re: players. Could look to continue consolidating picks.

Here are the contract options for Luka.

Despite the super max extension off the table, Doncic should actually make more in the long run.

Important to note that the financial playing field in what the Lakers can offer and a team with cap space in 2026 is small. The big advantage is the 5th year.

Flying to LA for trade deadline week.

Lets do some Q/A

Ask anything (well, almost anything)

How Bradley Beal still controls the NBA trade deadline in Phoenix Next week's trade deadline is just one of the hurdles facing the league's most expensive roster.

Reporting with @ramonaespn.bsky.social

How does Phoenix fix a .500 team that blew past the NBA’s punitive second apron to trade for three superstars in pursuit of a championship?
