CBS Dallas/Fort Worth June 8, 2021 A deep sigh across the Metroplex as Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks are out in the first round of the playoffs — again. The urgency to get their young superstar enough help for some deep playoff runs will grow fast, although the Mavericks are about to buy themselves time in pursuit of the franchise's first postseason series victory since the 2011 NBA Finals. Doncic left little doubt Monday he would sign a five-year extension expected to be worth more than $200 million when free agency opens this summer. That contract would start in 2022-23.
