I was thinking about that theory a lot. Sure it would explain a lot. But if it was a case, why even playing him risking an injury? Especially playing him as a role player not really helping the team. Wouldn't it make more sense to say his back hurts or something and sit him until the summer?

I am affraid his value is very low after this performance. But on the other hand, as it is nicely written in the Tjarks piece. Is Luka even ready to play with another star? So if we are not looking for a star trade, can KP net us two solid starters? If not, I guess it makes most sense he stays.

I also read another interesting piece I post below, basically saying: bring DeRozan, resign THJ (both for three years) and attack FA market in 2024 with just Luka on the books. Luka will be 25 then, more experienced, more mature. Perhaps ready for the super team and coexistence with other stars.
