Last season I think it was related to coming in out of shape and the season before that he only missed 6 games.
For me the biggest goal right now is asset accumulation, but that includes retaining the assets we currently have and Luka is like 95% of that. I don't know his mindset, but it is hard to imagine he would not have an issue with a complete teardown, and its hard to imagine this franchise conducting a quick efficient teardown that would be ready to compete in 2 or 3 years. I also think our cap situation is so bad right now that the only reasonable way to clean it up is to have some patience (and not sign any more dumb ass contracts like McGee). I have no problem taking some steps back right now if it helps to move forward in the near future, but I don't see a reasonable path to a teardown. I don't think LA is interested in our crappy contracts and don't see a Westbrook trade that makes sense for both teams.
