The most important storyline within the NBA in the meanwhile is Luka Doncic’s physique transformation over the summer season.
The Dallas Mavericks traded Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers halfway via final season due to issues that he would by no means make them a championship.
The important thing cause was that his bodily situation didn’t measure as much as different NBA superstars like Giannis Antetokounmpo and present teammate LeBron James.
Doncic has seemingly labored out greater than ever earlier than throughout the offseason to show his doubters, particularly Mavericks normal supervisor Nico Harrison, mistaken.
Nonetheless, former NBA level guard Jeff Teague thinks Doncic’s coaching is just not about Harrison’s resolution to commerce him away.
Teague thinks Doncic can be in the identical form if he had stayed on the Mavericks as a result of it has nothing to do with the commerce.
As an alternative, the one-time All-Star believes he’s making an attempt to drop a few pounds in order that he can stop accidents going ahead, notably to his decrease legs.
“I feel he would’ve gotten like that finally,” Teague stated. “Folks had been going to maintain calling him fats. He was going to maintain hurting his calf.
“I feel that’s what it was – the accidents. I don’t assume he skilled his physique the appropriate approach. That’s why he stored getting harm. That calf has been harm for a minute. It’s an excessive amount of weight.”
We are going to by no means know whether or not Teague is correct or not, however what we do know is that Doncic is anticipated to have his finest season but.
Regardless of Doncic’s physique transformation, which ought to set him as much as have a tremendous season with the Lakers, Teague is just not selecting him to win the Most Beneficial Participant award.
The 37-year-old is extra assured in Antetokounmpo successful it for a 3rd time as a result of he might want to “carry” the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Bucks added Myles Turner in free company, however the lack of Damian Lillard to an Achilles harm will make life tougher for the Greek Freak.
“I’ve received Giannis successful MVP. It’s about to be Giannis’ finest 12 months,” Teague made his MVP prediction for the upcoming season.
“There’s no one on his group. He’s about to hold so loopy. He may common 34, 13, and eight. This boy is about to run level guard, principally.”
