The focus on Luka is becoming ridiculous.
Is it possible the kid has been playing high level basketball from a young age and is losing his thirst for it earlier than most? Possibly. Doubt it though
Is it possible that he got paid and is comfortable or not as motivated? Possibly. Doubt it though.
Is it possible Luka plays for a franchise in turmoil...that doesnt really seem to have a chance at winning hardware this year...and Luka is taking a relaxed year? Possible and probable, imo.
Luka has shown new tricks in his bag every season....he works on his game.
Now...you can lean on the "he's not setting a good example...monkey see monkey do" excuse...but the situation isnt anywhere near as bad as it is being made out to be.
Luka should clean up his diet if he eats a lot of junk food and soft drinks. Luka should bitch at the refs less often. Luka should try a little more on defense if he has the energy. Luka should stop taking lazy step back threes when they are not necessary and give that ball to a player needing real time to work on his game(DFS, MAXI, GREEN, etc)...
But I have no problem with Luka not showing his whole deck of cards in a throw away year. If you think that is unprofessional or is being a bad influence on the team...I guess we can agree to disagree.
