I agree with every word of your excellent post, except for maybe the sentence above. I think off-ball shooting and offensive creation will be such a need for this team that I'd say there's a decent chance those two play quite a bit together. Both are good on and off ball. Kyrie, especially, has been very good off ball since coming here. I assume your hangup with it is defense, but I think there could be situations wherein the good outweighs the bad with that tandem, if Russell is playing well, if Kyrie comes back strong while games still matter, etc.

I read somewhere that one of the reasons they went after Dlo is that they think he can play with Kyrie.  I'm concerned how that will work out, but I'm sure they are going to try it.
