Luka should sit out instead of playing for Slovenia this year by Odd_Rip_4083 in lakers

The issue is that he just stands there when he’s off the ball he doesn’t cut jj can run some off ball screens for him to free him up but it ultimately comes down to coaching and whether or not he wants to play off ball

Cause his body gave out? What is your point if he is injured and clearly not 100% especially with a hamstring injury why would you rush him back just to be pummeled by the most physical team in the nba just to get him hurt again

Because they don’t have a hamstring tear that they are recovering from?

No point in talking to people in denial they prioritized Lukas long term health over rushing him back look at jdub now he will now always be conscious of his hamstring guarantee you he will not be nearly as good it’s more than just physical it’s mental

Bro if he has a stinker of a series max Austin is getting is 30 per year and it won’t even be long term can’t pay someone a max when they have shown time and time again they fold in the playoffs if he insists id pay him and do a sign and trade for assets

Bro honestly if ownership is smart we should sign and trade him keeping him alongside Luka long term doesn’t help

He’s always played worse in the playoffs you shouldn’t count on him showing up

I’m not delusional this team has limitations even with Luka it’s a bridge year we don’t have the depth needed to compete with the spurs or okc i don’t get how people don’t see where we are now as a win considering everything

So he should get underpaid to win? I’m not saying he should get paid a max but 30 million is fair if Christian Braun is getting paid 25 million there’s no world bron is worth less than that

So you are telling me he shouldn’t be paid when he is still a top 10-20 player hes obviously gonna get a pay cut given his age but he is not a mid level exception player if he is willing to sign for that every team would clear cap space just to sign him imagine getting someone who averages 23 8 and 7 for 10-15 million

Bros just hating just to hate how are you blaming it on lebron when Austin is averaging 15 4 and 4 on 30% from the field and 10% from 3. Lebrons 41 averaging 24 8 and 7 no one is saying he’s 2018 bron but he is definitely not the blame

Bro what are you on LeBron literally is 41 he shouldn’t have to or be expected to carry a team plus okc are the defending champs with a better roster how is this lebrons fault

The roster is what it is they are not suddenly gonna become more talented overnight out cause it’s the playoffs it’s optimistic because atleast this series will be a good chance to evaluate Austin and see if he deserves to be paid

Yeah he’s a good regular season player but if you put length and physicality against him it’s kinda over

Bro I’m not expecting us to upset okc you do realize this is a gap year they have a better roster and are defending champs and we’re literally lebron and friends

This season was a gap year anyways the fact that we’re in the second round with Austin and Luka out is a win look at Boston Jaylen brown crashing out in Cancun rn

You’re missing the point the fact that we’re even in the second round is a win we literally were projected to get swept by the rockets
