It appears that the headline you shared — “THIS IS THE BEST NEWS WE COULD HOPE FOR: … Luka Dončić has taken position of senior coaching…” — is unfortunately not accurate. There is no credible or recent report confirming that Luka Dončić has become a “senior coach” within the Mavericks organization or elsewhere.
Here’s what did happen:
- Luka Dončić was traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers on the night of February 1–2, 2025, in a blockbuster midseason deal involving Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and draft pick
- Marko Milić, a longtime Mavericks assistant coach and fellow Slovenian, resigned from the Mavericks’ staff shortly afterward. Reports emphasize he did not want to remain with the team after Dončić’s departure
- There is no record or report of Dončić assuming any coaching role—in Dallas or Los Angeles.
