The thought of him getting dunks with Luka is nice but you can't run pick and rolls and get easy baskets everytime - if that was the case then the Suns offense would be unstoppable with CP3/Ayton and even the Hawks with Trae Young and Capela/Collins. In crunchtime, teams are going to switch with a smaller defender on Gobert (who won't make them pay like KP) and then take their chances guarding Luka. And then that will clog up the spacing since the Mavs can't run their preferred 5-out offense since Gobert can't shoot.
You get it. Adding Gobert would be about adding a unique defensive threat down low. Any dreams of Luka unlocking hidden offense there are a pipe dream. He flat out sucks on offense and there's no nice way to put it
