This is as much as the Mavericks can do if they want any shot at Luka Doncic coming back to Big D.
When Nico Harrison decided to trade Luka Doncic on February 2, he completely fractured the loyalty the Dallas Mavericks prided themselves on through the Dirk Nowitzki era, but many fans are holding out hope that Doncic could still return to Dallas one day. Of course, Doncic owes nothing to the Mavericks, given the way he was ousted from Dallas, but the Mavs could be putting together the proper infrastructure to make a Doncic return possible in the future, if nothing else.
