Dream Chasing Green believes that Lakers Luca Doncic may win the MVP of the new season

According to Nico Martinez, a contributor to US sports media F/W, Doncic has always been a problem. But after being traded to Los Angeles, he might be a man with a mission. According to Warriors forward Draymond Green, the superstar guard looks more motivated than ever after moving to Los Angeles in the mid-season, which he believes could trigger the most important year of Doncic's career. “Luca looks like a rookie Luca again,” Green said on Instagram. "It seems that the deal creates hunger again! Also, it's the perfect year to win his first MVP award."

Green knew the winner when he saw the winner. While he may not be a MVP candidate himself, he is a 4-time champion, 4-time All-Star and previous defensive player of the year. With a career average of 8.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists and shooting 42.4% from the field, he is not a stats filler, but he is still a Golden State Warriors legend and one of the league's most respected veterans.

Although Green had given a high praise to Doncic before, this summer was a little different. Since being traded from the Mavericks in February, Doncic has been committed to proving his worth and removing any doubts about his commitment to the cause. In his first offseason in Los Angeles, he is taking tough measures to ensure he is at his peak next season. Apart from strict eating habits, he trains and works throughout the summer to increase endurance, maintain shape and lose weight to a more appropriate size. He even quit the game completely for the first time in his career.

As for Green's MVP prediction, this is one of Doncic's few honors to date. Despite a career average of 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 7.7 assists and shooting 45.0% from the field, the Slovenian star has never won an MVP. His closest was in the 2023-24 season, when he ranked third in the MVP voting.

Entering next season, he is ready for his career year, but is that enough to add an MVP trophy to him? We know he will be one of the top scorers in the NBA, but it will take more to earn MVP honors. To win the MVP, he needs to lead the Lakers into the top three seeds, just like he helped the Lakers do in the second half of last season. The good news this year is that he will play alongside Ayton's starting center. As usual, he will also get some help from James, Reeves and Hachimura, which should make his life easier.

If Doncic stays healthy and maintains this level of focus, the MVP will be more than just the preseason headlines; it will be a qualified campaign. He needs to prove something as he enters this season, not only to Dallas or the league, but to himself. The Lakers have devoted themselves to his leadership and he finally has the platform and supporting cast to show off the absolute best version of his game.

If there are any signs this offseason, that version is probably the most terrible version we have ever seen. The league is already working to keep Luca at 75%. Now he is in his best form in his life and is completely locked? MVP campaigns are not only possible, but inevitable.
