Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving set to sign to massive contracts

After coming off a dominant season, the dynamic duo of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are set to sign massive contracts. The approximate value of the contract is said to be around $586 million. Doncic will sign a five-year extension worth $340 million. Irving can sign a four-year deal worth $240 million when offered.

Both players came off a dominant season with great averages both in the regular season and in the postseason. The Dallas Mavericks aim to build a championship-contending team. Both Doncic and Irving will be the main pillars of the team. The addition of Klay Thompson will likely help them contend once again next season.

The contract extension will have a massive impact on the team if it goes as planned. It means the team will struggle to afford decent role players who can push the Mavericks to a title. Nevertheless, if Doncic and Irving can continue their partnership and form, the sky is the limit for the team.
