The blockbuster Feb. 1 trade that sent five-time All-NBA guard Luka Dončić from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers "forced him to grow up," per commentary provided by ESPN insider Tim MacMahon on Friday's edition of NBA Today (2:25 mark). And look, there's been flashes of commitment to conditioning for Luka in the past...this feels like something that is the turning of a corner. But you're seeing maturation with Luka, the way he interacted and led a Slovenia team..."He didn't have to be the leader in Dallas. "On that Slovenian national team, you know, in EuroBasket, they put the camera in the huddle, so you really saw it. In reality, Dončić was supposed to use time off to improve his conditioning, team sources said."
