Lukas problem isn't in the weight room. He does just fine there. Maybe they need to add a treadmill next to the squat rack.

To me who lives in Lithuanian economy, 200-250k per year sounds absolutely insane.

They need a nutritionist and a chef that follows luka around and takes beers out of his hands like Finley did.

For Los Angeles, considering they want an individual plan for everyone on a 15-team roster, this actually sounds like a low-ball offer to me lol

If this job opportunity entails taking beer and cigarettes and making them 'disappear' I think I'm qualified. :lol:

Luka needs to talk to jokic about beer/basketball balance. No American will be able to help him.

Well, it is Lakers organization, and economy in LA is way different, but over here, a lot of people make like 10k a year and their jobs are also hard. Managing 16 athletes does not seem that terribly hard, of course there is accountability and all, these are not random dudes from a GYM, but, you could buy a low tier Euroleague player with 250k.

I always knew Clav specializes in making people disappear. But to be real, you need Luka to sign that extension first, before you introduce him to anti beer nutritionist,

Oh, it was beer and cigaretes, not people. Well, thats fine too I guess.

Alright I guess if the Lakers insist, I’ll work for them and get Luka pushing weights while yelling fatso in his face, all that for the low price of 10 million a year, take it or leave it Jeanie, the results will speak for themselves, bet

It's on the player to keep himself in shape. It's like when the pelicans kept firing their nutrition people because Zion wasn't in shape
