Re "three creators" I think the current plan is to have two with more overlap in minutes than usual (Luka and Kyrie) but to put players around them who can actually floor the ball and make decisions. The WCF team didn't have that second type of player at all, hence the need for three of the first type.
Exum is that second type, as is Green (almost). It's plain to see they're trying to get DJJ, Powell, Kleber, Lively, Hardy and Williams to be more aggressive with the ball and decision making. That is very clearly a concerted effort, and one of the things Carlisle would not have done that I might actually end up liking (if it works).
That's why Cuban says "someone at least 6'8" WHO CAN DRIBBLE." That's what THEY think the team needs: more secondary playmaking from basically every position, and they feel like they have the least of it with their bigger guys.
