We are in the home area for the NBA season. If you're a Dallas Mavericks fan, there's a lot to look forward to.
The team has won its last three games and Luka Doncic is playing at his highest level ever. He seems to be breaking new records every month, and his offensive dominance is incredible.
Dallas' two new trade acquisitions also fit in nicely as Daniel Gafford chases his own record. PJ Washington has become Dallas' best perimeter defender and is starting to hit his stride offensively.
The playoffs will be here before we know it, and hopefully Luka, Kyrie Irving, and the Mavs are still playing. They may be a team competing for a spot in the play-in tournament, but they can't count Doncic out for the playoffs. It doesn't matter who he plays against.
Here, we dig into every Dallas Mavericks player contract and rank them from bargain to nightmare.
When you have a player on your team who has the potential to be the best player of all time in the NBA, any amount you pay them is considered a bargain.
Luka Doncic is averaging 34.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 49.7 percent from the field and 38 percent from downtown this season. He is having an MVP-caliber season right before our eyes and puts on a show every time he puts on a Mavs jersey.
Doncic is under contract for three more years after this season, with a player option after the second year. He's in the first year of a five-year, $215 million contract extension, a huge deal considering the Mavs are getting Doncic every game.
With 73 points this season, Doncic could soon become one of the highest-paid players in the NBA if he continues to play and stay healthy.
