Not only with Barkley's criticism, but he listened to everyone's suggestion that he should lose some weight to unlock his full potential.
He have no choice but to lose weight. It is specifically written in his contract. He should weight less than 295 lbs and that his body fat is monitored. He would not want to endanger his contract by going over his weight limit.
Exactly.
Now that he has lost weight, I wonder if he have done it if it is not in the contract.
The motivation for losing weight is probably 10% health and 90% money hehe.

In any case, the Kyrie/KD/Simmons is a good look again and see if the chemistry is really there or if these divas will have some problems down the line.
Problems usually arise among these "value" players when they start losing badly. I get it that Kyrie or KD also hate losing but a lot of players always looks for someone or something to blame for their poor results. Not really taking much responsibility for the loss.
