Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[omahen]

My Insta feed is starting to fill up with Laker fans who make videos of how bad Luka's defense is.

I feel bad for pretty much everyone in this scenario, including and especially Luka.

I guess I am lucky I didn't find any good Lakers forum than

Injuries derailed Lakers a bit, especially with their brutal schedule. It was obviously difficult without LeBron and he was not near 100 % after he returned, especially on offense. Luka obviously has troubles against quicker players, especially when he doesn't give his 100 % for whatever reason, but is a good team defender. He had a bad defensive game against Indy and had good and bad quarters against Chicago. In the big picture, Lakers defense is actualy a bit better with Luka on the court and offense is much better with him. DFS is the only player with better on/off rating. Looking at just last five games - Lakers defense with Luka was bad, but wasn't good without him also (130 rating with him and 116 rating without him, neither is good). Problem has been offense. Good when Luka is on the court, but just falls apart when he was off the court (118 rating with him vs 96 rating without him).
