Luka is 24 and at his best when he's pissed off. Missing playoffs and hearing 'fat' chants has to hurt. I'm choosing to believe that this season will piss him off and he will come back next highly motivated and in better shape.
I also choose to believe we will retain our pick and use it, fire Kidd, sign some defensive players, re-sign Kyrie, and come back next year with a vengeance. Could be my copium pipe. Giannis won at 26, LeBron won at 27... Luka WILL follow suit.
