Utah Jazz 'particularly interested' in Luka Doncic?
With my spies telling me that Utah in particular is keeping a very interested eye on Luka Doncic’s situation, even the Nets’ kitchen-sink offer for Doncic — the four firsts from Phoenix and one from Philly, plus whatever matching salary not named Bridges is needed to make the deal work — likely falls massively short.

We’ve seen it ever since he arrived from Utah and that game he had vs Luka. But Jarred Vanderbilt is a difference making defender. Fantastic work on Curry. Curry may get his as the series goes on, but he’ll have earned it – 1:12 AM

Luka Doncic finished 8th in MVP voting this season — his lowest mark since not making ballots as a rookie.
From starting Year 5 as the betting favorite to 60-21-10 putback euphoria vs. Knicks to that insane December scoring stretch to Mavs completely out of the playoffs…

More on this storyline
After the mass shooting that killed eight children and a security guard at a Belgrade elementary school, Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic has committed to pay for the funeral services and grief counseling for classmates and staff, a spokesperson for the Luka Doncic Foundation told ESPN on Thursday. Doncic has deep family ties to the Serbian capital’s region, including a grandmother, aunt, uncle and teenage cousin who live in the area. His father, Sasha, is a native of Serbia. -via ESPN / May 4, 2023
Doncic reached out to make a commitment for short-term aid after the mass shooting and plans to be part of whatever long-term assistance arises from the violence Wednesday at the Vladislav Ribnikar school. Doncic, a native of Slovenia, is expected to welcome involvement from other NBA players with Balkan roots to help in the tragedy’s aftermath. -via ESPN / May 4, 2023
“I am heartbroken by the tragic school shooting in Serbia and the loss of lives, including those of innocent school children,” Doncic said in a statement. “My thoughts are with the families and the entire community affected by this tragedy. “Through my foundation, I am exploring both immediate and long-term ways to support the students, faculty, and families affected by the shooting at the Vladislav Ribnikar Elementary School. I am committed and I will continue to share updates and ways to support as details become available.” -via ESPN / May 4, 2023
