I really don't think Luka was a fan of McGee. When McGee was shitting the bed early in the season, there were multiple instances of Luka sending disgusted looks to the bench. They really seem focused on getting character guys or guys that Luka is buddies with, and getting rid of anyone that presented any issue with Luka or the locker room. Probably explains McGee and Wood. I would be surprised if it applied to Timmy as he has been known as high character guy, but maybe he and Luka had some kind of falling out as they seem determined (at least per Stein) to dump him.
