KIDD TO LUKA:

My biggest wish for Luka is if we can get him to play at a faster pace.  I love when we play fast.  My hope that in time we can to a controlled chaos pace.  Luka is so smart, I think it would make him even more dangerous.

I cringe at some of his shots at times. But I have sort of gotten in the camp that we will need to live with those because he is so special.  I think he will take conditioning more seriously as he ages.  At the same time, the weight on his shoulders is massive.  I doubt if there are 2-3 players who could do it in the league.

So I would mostly like to see cosmetic changes.  Faster pace, getting back on defense…in playoff games, less complaining, etc.  but I am glad we have “that guy”

Well I was off on my thoughts of less international load.  Don’t love that schedule or his answer about not thinking about NBA much in the offseason because of how busy his schedule is. 

Kid has never had a real NBA offseason and it’s something I think he needs to round out his insane game and find his best approach to the physical side of things.

You cannot work on your condition while playing a tournament. You play to prepare your games. His summer schedule is kinda a big problem. There is a reason Jokic skipped the summer last year. You train to maximize your performance in the summer games, and not in the NBA. This isn't a long term thing.


If anything he can change his diet, and change his eating habits once and for all. Because every time he rests/has a minor injury, he is somehow putting on pounds. After the calf injury, he looked a bit more heavy imo. 

He needs to make his shape a round year thing and never get out of shape. If you don't go out of shape, its way easier to get into shape. I am wondering if his condition problems are workout related or eating/drinking related. 


Does he know if he is not working out, you have to change your diet and eat less? Because i am not sure if he does

Best player by far in this postseason. Arguably the best player on planet as well. You just can't compare at all on any level the depth of Curry, Klay, Green, Poole, Wiggins to that of Brunson, DFS, Bullock, Powell, DS. It was impressive that we took down Suns which are the #2 best team in NBA. But GSW is clearly the #1 team in NBA, and they overmatched anyone besides Luka.
