Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

Also, I don’t know how many times I need to say it, but no superstar is perfect or without flaws. Especially not at 25. Dirk, for example, didn’t even take conditioning seriously until he was 28. 

You can say it as many times as you want, or you could not say it ever again. Either way, it’s something we all, every one of us, already knows very well.

None of us here decided to give up on the kid.

I’m just saying he has not yet, not to this point, demonstrated that he understands how to keep his body in condition, or that he even wants to try doing so, and unlike Dirk, this has been very noticeable in Luka as a negative (obviously in a sea of positives). That’s literally all I’m saying. For whatever reason, any hint of this on this board has always been met with an aggressive, angry, defensive opposition. It has been increasingly obvious that it was a problem, and some of us have been told we’re imagining it. Well, it turns out that we weren’t imagining it and the Mavericks decision makers noticed it, too.

Again, for the two millionth time, I am in the group who would’ve kept him and hoped he figured it out. But, it is extremely disingenuous to pretend that this was not an issue when it was actually a huge, huge issue.
