An ESPN report indicates that Luka Doncic has been motivated to work on his fitness and conditioning after the Mavericks took parting shots at him.

Due to the controversy of the trade, including how it cost Doncic nearly $100 million by forfeiting his eligibility for a supermax contract, many people are expecting a revenge-fueled performance in Los Angeles. This includes former Maverick and nine-year NBA veteran Chandler Parsons, who gave his opinion on the topic on FanDuelTV earlier today.

The Mavericks visit the Lakers on Tuesday night for the teams' first meeting after the most surprising sports trade in years. The Lakers gave up Anthony Davis and Max Christie in the deal to acquire Doncic, last season's scoring champion and a five-time All-NBA selection.
