One thing Tre talked a lot about in his season wrap ups was about how they needed to be a team that can play in both the regular season and the playoffs, where the game is very different, ie, much more physical.
Tre is probably hoping that Lucic will be effective in the playoffs and that he will give the other players the confidence to play bigger as well. It might be wishful thinking, but it's not like Tre can just go out and trade all the soft players on the roster for tougher players. This could be one way of making everyone tougher.
