Luka has dealt with WAY worse.

He's been coddled his entire time in the NBA.

I mean I wish we had some of this sometimes. I think Luka responds well to hardline leadership. Pop would be the best coach for him by far

I don't think Luka had any freedom in Europe and now he does. He HAD TO TAKE that kind of hardline coaching because he wasn't in a league that allowed stars to dictate their wishes (think NBA in the 90s). Now Luka is a premier player in the NBA and the NBA allows stars to dictate where they want to play. Maybe Luka responds to that hardline coaching but probably he doesn't (Carlisle is gone and Luka wasn't a fan of RC).
