Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[audiosway]

Somebody on the board ticked me off by asserting that MVP Nash was the same player he'd always been for the Mavs but that Phoenix just wisely built their system around him. Obnoxiously false. His main upgrade was getting his health/back/core fitness right.

I'm afraid of Luka doing a Nash, taking care of his health, and winning 3+ rings and 3+ MVPs with the Lakers. But I'm less afraid of that now than I was when the trade happened. It's looking to me like he just doesn't have it in his character to do that. We'll see if he proves me wrong.

Agreed. If I remember correctly Casey Smith was the trainer for PHX when Nash went there. That's why Dallas hired him to begin with.

Fitness and Diet has so much to do with an athlete's success. I love watching Luka play and hope he gets it straightened out. I just honestly don't think he will at this point. It's not like he turned pro at 19. He's been a pro since 14. If he hasn't done it by now...
