With the #3 pick (!) in the 2018 draft, the Mavs get Luka Doncic

I was the one who posted his response to that question on here. I am just looking for confirmation that it's going to be this offseason instead of next offseason.

Yes he can sign when free agency kicks off in August. I dont recall the exact date. He will sign and then the real test will be in Year 5 and 6 if the Mavs can build anything. If it doesn't look like it by the end of year 6 (his age 24/25 season) he likely will consider forcing a trade ala Anthony Davis.
