The only real downside to paying him a boatload is that he would have been hard to trade. And honestly, who cares? Just another guy that you're stuck with for a couple of years, who then becomes extremely valuable in the final year of his deal.
Other than him just being harder to trade, what is the risk in overpaying him? I'm honestly thinking Cuban just doesn't want to go deeper into the luxury tax. I'm hoping that's not the case, but that's what it seems like.

Aren't we set up for 2024 right now, with every one of our contracts outside of Luka coming off the books or be an expiring contract, with all of our future picks? I would be totally willing to wait for that scenario and roll with this current team until, if that means we can pair Luka up with someone REAL GOOD in 2024. It's very rare to win the chip with one hall of famer, I think we should go all-in for the 2024 free agency and set everything up to be able to do that.
