So the way I see it, we have some nice pieces, but they don't really fit together. We either don't have enough creation on the floor or we don't have enough shooting. Kyrie helps with both, assuming he's at least 90% of his old self, but once he's off the court, the lineups could become problematic.

You either have shooting without much creation, like Max and Klay, or creation without enough shooting, like Coop and Naji. Then there are non-shooters who are still going to play big minutes, like PJ, Gafford, Lively, and Morez.

For this roster to work, we probably need Coop to become a great shooter, at least 38% from three, or him, PJ and Naji to shoot at least around 34, 35%. And of course, Max and Kyrie have to remain elite shooters.
