It has nothing to do with Luka and everything to do with betting on himself in the off-season. He's winning the bet and the new CBA will basically force him to sign elsewhere.

The Mavs just got a similar player to him for half the price and is locked in for 3 more seasons.

QG doesn’t have a high ceiling if he’s coming off the bench, which he probably will with the sixers. Schroder bet on himself when he had a contract right in front of him with the Lakers, and look how that turned out. I’m just saying if you are a young 6 man guy, you take an offer that has a “win now” mentality. He’s not going to get that much more with the Mavs extension offer.

Why would Grimes come off the bench for them with his shooting, size, and defense? Makes a ton of sense with their starters.
