Kinda feels like he’s learned his lesson and will come into the season in shape from now on, well here’s to hoping!I think this is where the crux of the counter argument comes into play. The 3 months getting here was riddled with injuries and COVID (not as bad as last year’s version, but still a sickness that needs recovery time). It didn’t START that way which is where the chicken or egg conversation begins. Had Luka come into the season at least at his playing weight and only slightly out of shape, he hits the ground running at the beginning of the season and looks like Luka now. Does that in shape and at the correct weight (with the extra energy and healing) Luka get as injured as he did? If he does, does the diet heal him faster at a rate that it bothers him less to the effect that he comes back the same as before?
No one seems to be budging from their side if the argument, so it is at this point beating a dead horse to continue on with it. Only thing that can happen from here is someone loses their temper over it and we have another board meltdown. I’m not “moderating” this discussion other than to say, can this discussion please end? Everyone just be the bigger man snd stop talking about it.
Fact of the matter is there is a good chance Luka is done with that stage of his career and it looks like all sides are happy about that!
Edit: Sorry, in re-reading I noticed I didn’t spend much if any time on the one side of the argument.
Absolutely! Luka was bothered by injuries and sickness throughout the 3 months to get here. There is no question that was a huge part of the issue!
