We would lose Hardaway and the full MLE. 3pt shooting would be a problem. Maybe a decent shooter would take the room exception?
The issue with DD is he's neither a shooter nor a defender. So, what do you prioritize next to him? You need both. Also, are we slotting DeRozan at SF? Who sits, Maxi or Finney? If Maxi sits, you need a shooter. If Finney sits you need a defender. And, it isn't just any defender. They need to be able to take the other team's primary creator.
