Secondary perimeter scorer/ball-handler are almost the same for me. Need an upgrade on the perimeter...someone who can create his own shot in a half court offense with the skillset to dish 4+ assists on any night. Luka's usage rate is too high...that's not the recipe for championship basketball. You look at most of the teams that advanced in the playoffs:
Bucks: Giannis/Middleton/Holiday
Suns: CP3/Booker
Hawks: Trae/Bogdan/Huerter/Gallinari (to an extent)
Clippers: Kawhi/PG/Reggie
Jazz: Mitchell/Conley/Bojan
If the Mavs had a legit #2 scorer like that, then everyone else in their current roles would be fine (ex: THJ and Brunson). But when there is no other shot-creator like that, you have gimmick basketball like rolling out Boban in the playoffs and force-feeding him the ball/
