In what can be argued as the biggest trade in NBA history, the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers agreed to a three-team deal before the NBA trade deadline to send Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a first-round pick to Dallas in exchange for a package centered around Luka Doncic. A deal exchanging All-NBA talents, fans were stunned by the news.
Flash forward to now, as Doncic is set to face his former team for the first time as the Mavericks travel to Los Angeles for a Tuesday night showdown. In a contest expected to have the attention of the basketball community, ex-Memphis Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons predicts that Doncic will show out.
"I think he takes 25 shots, I think he has a 40-piece," Parsons shared on FanDuel TV's Run It Back. "I think he has such personal vendetta against Nico Harrison. I think he has personal vendetta against this whole franchise."
Doncic is currently coming off his best performance as a Laker, having 32 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists in a big-time win over the Denver Nuggets. As mentioned by Parsons, the Mavericks are battling numerous injuries and it's the perfect opportunity for Doncic to demolish his former team.
Tip-off is set between the two Western Conference foes for 10:00 p.m. EST at crypto.com Arena, with it being broadcast on TNT.
