I really hate to be the one to say this but Luka looks Fat and slow, hopefully I’m wrong, maybe I got spoiled looking at Reaves looking slim, fit and fast.

Luka didn't play for more than 6 weeks, difficult to expect much more in the beginning. But if you expect that he will look even remotely close to Reaves, then you will be for sure disappointed. He's much closer to Jokic than Reaves.

No Kessler is not "him". Kessler is fine. He's a big body with little athleticism, or hops. He's mildly skilled, but nothing special. Stick a 7 footer on a horrible team with no other options, and your gonna get some stats.

He'd be better than anything we have currently, I'll give you that. But he's not special. Not in the slightest.

As of now...Jordan Clarkson has 21 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists. Am I meant to think he's special now? Or perhaps since it's basketball...a sport massively skewed towards the offense (is there a sport more skewed offensively?) your gonna see a team score north of 100 points night in and night out...no matter how ungodly bad they stink?

If we can get Kessler on the cheap, I'm all for it. He's certainly not worth 2 FRP's.

Despicable. Luka, Bron, AR, the three headed snake can't even bring down a lowly Utah team.

Dismantle this team.

[LAKESHOW]

Our centers are making me think, I don't care how broken and injured Mark Williams be, the Cemters we put out there tonite, were complete crap

[RamonSessions7]

Meh. We’re a **** roster put together by a doofy front office, but we got Luka

[Beethoven]

Yeah i also noticed that too. Like he many times just passes the ball and then just camps out at the three point line somewhere. I dont see any dynamic threat coming from him like I did when he was on Dallas.
I hope he gets in shape and gets in gear. But who knows.

As a former Mavs fan (only switched because I'm an even bigger Luka stan), this is how Luka plays. If he's not dribbling he will stand at the 3 point line and watch. He is also fat and slow. But it won't stop him from putting up 30/10/10 once he gets comfortable in the system. He needs to be on ball though and have Lebron operate off-ball, because Luka won't cut, screen or move without the ball.
