I am not sure anymore that just giving Luka a free reign is the best of ideas. We certainly did not put Russ on a pedestal because he averaged a triple double. Numbers by itself is not the be all end all when you have the ball in your hand so much. Plus LeBron and maybe Kobe are the only guys that approach has worked with and both could play very good defense too when needed. I think Luka becomes a better player with a more structured approach. Is he ready for that? Are the coaches ready to confront him if he objects? IMO someone like Dragic would be a great choice. Has Luka’s respect and the guy can still play.
Secondary creator is a must, imho. I've been ssaying that for over a season now.
Why would anyone think it is wise to allow a 20 year old to do whatever he wants? Luka never had a problem with authority or to play within a system. So there is absolutely no question if he is ready for that. He always was ready for that. I think there is a wrong perception about who Luka is, going on around here... And I was saying since day 1, the concept of "pass it to Luka" is wrong, unless the goal is to create Harden. Offense can't work with four guys standing around watching Luka try to do something.
