It was funny because I didn’t know that was true,” Doncic said. “I didn’t
say it…. I’m happy here. There’s nothing to worry [about].”
Mavs governor Mark Cuban also deliberately tanked the last few games of
the season to benefit from the draft and Doncic and Irving’s reffusal to
tank earler shows glimpses of a team falling apart.
Utah should definitely keep an eye on the situation in Dallas because one more bad season and Doncic may just want out. >
Meanwhile, the Jazz have a solid young core and adding Doncic into the
equation could be the perfect mix.
Utah certainly have the means to land a star like Doncic and build a
championship team, with the amount of future draft picks they have.
Of course, Doncic will have request a trade for any of this to happen,
but you could clearly see his happiness on the court diminishing as the
season went on.
In late March, Doncic even said himself: “I used to have fun, smiling on the court, but it’s just been frustrating…”
Multiple NBA sources have reported that the Utah Jazz are interested
in Slovenian superstar Luka Doncic.
The Athletic’s John Hollinger was the first to share these rumors in May and now, the Salt Lake Tribune’s Andy Larsen says that he’s heard the same thing.
