It's great that you realize that defense is a team effort. But just like it is harder to defend against three players that can create on offense it is harder to defend when you have three guys that have defensive short comings.
Kyrie nor Luka are not terrible defenders with the proper effort. They just need to keep their man in front of them.
The Mavs defense for the most part is predicted on having 2 shot blockers and having lengthy on defense. Its usually funnel to the shot blocker. That doesn't change with adding Simons.
