One of the 2 reasons I don't mind him being gone is shit like this being reported every summer, AND his IDIOTIC Stans who think he can do no wrong.

Having said that, he's STILL my fave player and I hate Nico for trading him...I want him back.

Lakers fan here.   Any chance Lukas width was actually helpful?

His size is a plus honestly...he'll NEVER be the quicker guy he was as a rookie.

its too bad it took trading him for him to get his ass in gear.  

Old Luka in LA was considered a fat.  
 

 

here’s my worry.  Even with the weight loss he’s not going to be absurdly quick or athletic.  Maybe he needed the thickness for balance and distancing.

it is more about him being able to go 100% for longer in a game which, in theory, will help him defensively.  he certainly modified his effort when he needed to, to stay in a game.

maybe you get rid of 30 bad pounds and add back 10 good pounds.  I think it will help his outside shooting also.

Reading the article would give an answer to this comment.

He was only 25 years old when he was traded. This was always eventually going to happen. Luka is too a fierce a competitor for him to stay fat. Nico's dumbass just accelerated the process. People forget that Jokic was fat at one time, and then suddenly he wasn't.

go back and watch videos of his rookie year. He didnt need to be fat to "balance" himself out. If anything being fat forced him refine his midrange game. now he's going to have that refined midrange and be back to his exceptional deceleration and super herky jerky style he played with in his first 2 years.

Maybe he let himself go because Nico didn't love him enough.

Did you not become a more serious person in your mid-late twenties and after you got married and had a kid than you were in your early twenties without a kid? We’ve seen some version of this 1000 times. The difference is that none of those guys were great *before* they got serious.

I think weight loss is probably one of the conditions the Lakers have before extending him also.

probably a good guess...
