    Sorry, Luka is the heart and soul of this team. We are nothing without him. He is 40%-50% of our total.

    League won't rescind it if it becomes a he-said, she-said sorta situation.

    I feel like the Lakers are in such a good spot right now that they have to continue winning just to keep that confidence going into the Playoffs. Even without Cade, beating the Pistons without Luka will be a good task for the Lakers.

    Keep the streak going and ride it until the playoffs.

    Bitadze, who understands the language, simply repeated the same phrase.

    «If he thinks I said something superfluous or crossed the line, I apologize as a man. I can take responsibility, but I said nothing more than what he said. What he said, I don't think it's true. I know this is not true», – said Bitadze.


    He also added: «I have a lot of respect for Luka and everything he has achieved. And I have a lot of respect for everyone's families. Where I come from, it's sacred, and we respect each other's families, and I would never say that directly. He just said inappropriate things in Serbian. I played in Serbia, I understand. I don't know if he knew I understood what he said. So I just repeated it

    Silver ,let them play
    Luka on historic run .
    They already apologized to each other

    This was for a couple of stretches during a game. Not for starting in other games over players. Lakers would do this with guys like Lue. You can try a younger guy on one of these players to throw a guy off. It’s not uncommon. Sometimes you want to give other teams different looks and get physical with them.
