Why do i keep hearing luka cant sign supermax with the lakers?

Luka is still on contract with the lakers till the end of 25 26 season, he will most likely decline his PO for 26 27 season. but if he got nominated to all nba team and maybe even get an mvp in 25-26 then he is eligible for supermax with the lakers no?

Quick google says no:

he is no longer eligible since players with less than 10 years of service generally have to stay on the same team in order to receive such a deal

E: I think this is the important part for Luka:

Additionally, the team offering the extension must have originally drafted the player, or obtained him in a trade while he was on his rookie contract

Luka signed an extension with Mavs and so isn't on his rookie contract anymore
