I don't see any hate.
I do see people assessing what BS is worth, in relation to his massive salary. That's fair.
He is certainly very good on defense. But max salary to a defense-only, no-offense player is a massive overpay. That's who he is, unfortunately.
The fact that is he significantly lacking on helping your offense changes everything for the rest of your team, and could really hamper Luka's impact. I don't see the way to change that, if he doesn't really have to be guarded. And in his current form, he doesn't. A player who can't shoot and who shies away from contact is not a guy you worry about.
Most importantly, there's no answer. (I wish there was. But facts is facts.) He's not obsessed to fix his issues, even though he's paid the max with all that that implies. Where's a solution to turn him into being worth the max?
