That's kind of the same thing with Harden and with Luka. They're both so ridiculously better than Trae (thinking of prime Harden more than current Harden) that their teams were GOOD playing that way. But so far, it doesn't really seem like any team that plays like that has been GREAT. Unanimously, these ex-players will all say how difficult it is to be in a rhythm and at your best when you never know if/when you're going to touch the ball.

This is a very good video highlighting exactly what you're talking about. But I disagree that Luka won't ever win a championship playing that way. There are a lot of ways to be successful in basketball. There are 2 distinct styles, iso-ball vs. ball-movement that have basically dominated the league the last 10 years.

Luka has done it better than anyone ever has at iso-ball. And that's not a bad thing. Even on an injured leg, Luka's talent (and this teams roster construction) still mowed through the West and made the Finals. Something Harden was never able to do. 

Klay is a product of one of the most beautiful offenses of all-time. Pure chaos. Can the Mavs add some of that? Of course. I have no doubts Luka can do that. He literally won MVP, a championship, AND Eurobasket playing that way with Real Madrid and Slovenia.
