Luka may have put on weight when he was injured but he is built wide and tall. It's part of what makes his game. The dude should have won the MVP last year. He took the team to the NBA finals, and it still wasn't enough for Nico because he didn't look and act like Kobe.
The Mavericks had a generational talent, sold him low, and then tried to act like he was some sort of 400 lb slob who couldnt get up and down the court to justify it. He played hurt, barely missed time outside of load management up until this year and the team decided they didnt like that he drank a few beers. Just absolute nonsense. There is no justifying the trade or how they treated him after the trade.
Yeah...I agree with this. Take a look at Jokic. He's not a svelte, ripped, muscular guy with 6 pac abs. And I would give my left testicle to have Jokic on the Mavs. Heck...at this point in my life I'd give both testicles...
And I would NOT have traded Luka.
