^^I don't hate Luke either. If there is any player that should be thankful for the triangle offense, its Luke. He would otherwise not be employed in the NBA....he's slow, injury prone, doesn't have an outside shot....but he can post up the other teams worst defender, and not expect to be double teamed (c'mon, its luke walton).
He doesn't do boneheaded things with or without the ball, which is an underrated skill.

Luke Walton is one of the luckiest players in the NBA he hardly has to work for his handsome salary , he is a very likeable person and he gets a lot of endorsements for a player of his stature.
Osamu I curious in what area is he underrated?

I think Luke knows his limitations though, and knows his game. He doesn't try to play outside of what he can do. That in itself is very rare. Seems like a lot of laker fans are sick of him and that contract. Honestly, when your payroll is topping $90 mil, and getting rid of his contract wouldn't even get you close to the tax threshold, who cares?
Maybe I'm just sick of laker fans who think they can score some big talent by trading that contract. Really? your team not good enough? You think someone would give you a guy that would be a key reserve on an already super talented laker team for that contract? I know not all laker fans are like that, but trust me he's not going anywhere for value in return, and I think is better than most 14th men.

Luke is like Turtle in Entourage he really has nothing to offer he just hangs around for the ride.

You left out severely overpaid and he can't make inside shots either. He is always left open because the opposing players don't move that slow.

Osamu's kinda right in that way...I don't agree with my fellow Laker fans thinking that his or Sasha's salary is holding the team back.
Not making inside shots, that I can agree with.

completely agree. correct call, and the ref called it with confidence..... for the away team! It takes some balls to do that. He better get the eff outta Denver though!!

I don't think none of the fans know which ref called it... everyone was too happy celebrating.

I thought I heard them say that 2 refs made the same call.
I was surprised too though, usually they hold their whistles and rarely give up even the defensive foul, calling an offensive was pretty ballsy
