Last week, early reports of Luka Dončić dedicating himself more seriously to fitness were giving Lakers fans some encouragement.
This weekend, things looked even better. In the form of pictures! From Luka's Insta page, and from pictures taken of him in the crowd at Real Madrid and even food pics from his wife's social media. We saw a thinner looking player, and what appeared to be a healthy, delicious meal! So only a few weeks after the season ended, at the very least, Dončić -- who is not stupid and knows full well that pictures of him will be dissected to no end -- appears to have put himself on a solid path to begin a critical offseason.
ONe that doesn't just matter for the Lakers this year, but as as a sign of what might be to come. Because remember, Nico Harrison bet that Luka was a bad long-term gamble for the Mavs. And as much as Harrison's logic (or his skill executing trades) might come into question, it's certainly true that long term, Luka needs to take better care of himself. All athletes do as they start to get older.
Meanwhile, Austin Reaves's agent is setting expectations for this season, and he's setting them high. Meanwhile, there's a number out there for what Reaves might look for assuming he hits free agency after next season. Is it a good one for the Lakers?
