I've been saying it for years now.  For Luka to go to the next level, he needs to look to model his play after Lebron.  He has to learn to play off the ball, allowing Kyrie, Naji, Exum, and Din to do their thing.  I also think Lively will continue to improve his passing.

IMO, this will be the rotation by the end of the year...

1 Luka, 8 Hardy
2 Kyrie, 7 Grimes
5 Naji, 6 Klay
4 PJ, 10 MaxiReplacement
3 Lively, 9 Gafford

I liked the first part of your post. Putting Hardy in the playoff rotation is not the solution. Din's there, and he's not #8.
