Imagine adding a player like Turner this offseason. It addresses one of the glaring problems and makes the team better, but you've still got Luka and either Brunson or Dinwiddie in the starting lineup, flanked by three 3&D players. I just don't think that gets it done consistently enough. When the shots aren't falling, Luka will still have to go supernova to keep them afloat.
Personally I think this has already been addressed with Din. The last two years, offense has not been this teams problem, including in the playoffs. It was clear that adding some playmaking/creation would help, but the real issue was always the defense.
I look at it as generally 2 playmakers/creators, 2 3&D guys and a rim runner (I'm thinking Capela, but Turner could play this role as well) most of the time. The finishing lineup would probably be Turner/DFS/Luka/Din/Brunson. That group has more than enough offensive firepower.

We already have two, Luka and Din.
