Meh. This is a 50 win a season team due to Luka alone from now on, just like it was with Dirk. We're on track for 49 without our two best players being near their prime. Regular season don't matter other than getting in, and we will be for the next decade. Once that happens anything can happen, ala 2011.
All we'd need this season, is come playoffs time, to get healthy, Luka and KP to hit their stride, and I see no reason why this team couldn't have a deep run. Luck would have a play a massive role, but who cares how it ends. This team has as long a window to contend as any team in the league. Find me some perimeter defense without compromising the offense, and this team wins multiple rings before Luka and KP are done easy.
