And the whole out of shape argument just seems a bit out of proportion. If Luka's game was dependent on athleticism the concern would certainly be completely valid. But Luka was normally the slowest and least athletic person on the floor but still was able to get to any spot he wanted. 

You make some good points, but I disagree with the above. 

Go watch Luka in the bubble playoffs and tell me his athleticism hadn't become a concern. Part of it was that Carlisle's understanding of how to create operating space far exceed's Kidd's (but apparently, Luka's preferences were part of the reason for abandoning that space, too), but THAT version of Luka was routinely beating his man off the dribble, living in the paint. That's the player I liked watching.
