NBA Scout Makes Bold Claim About Luka Doncic Ahead of Next Season

Luka Doncic has been one of the NBA's best players ever since arriving from Europe, and while he doesn't yet have an MVP, many feel that it's a matter of when, not if, that happens. After joining the Los Angeles Lakers via trade, Doncic averaged 28, 8, and 8, and now, with the team making him the focal point of the future, there's optimism that he can take his game to another level.

One thing that may get him to that next level is his focus on revenge against Nico Harrison and the Mavericks for trading him, as he has already shown this summer how motivated he is to get in career-best shape. Now an anonymous NBA scout has made a major prediction on Doncic, as they believe that the Lakers superstar will take his game to another level all to get revenge on the Mavericks for trading him.

“I think he’s gonna win MVP and the scoring title next season. He wants to get revenge on Dallas for basically fat-shaming him.”

Despite the shape he was in, Doncic solidified himself as a top-five player in the entire NBA, and with the extra motivation, the entire league has been put on notice heading into the 2025/26 season.

With Doncic's best career year being 34 points a night back in 2022/23 with Dallas, we know he can take it to another level, and with a great supporting cast in Los Angeles, the stars appear to be aligning for an MVP-caliber season ahead.
