I still feel we are way ahead of many teams. You do have two offensive savants and I don’t use those words lightly. Most teams would love to have even one of those let alone get both.
I also buy into the philosophy that roses have thorns too but the beauty of the rose is so much that people don’t care about the thorns. There will always be shortcomings on any team. Even the 2011 team had. The issue is can managaement improve certain areas to hide those thorns. Luka and Kyrie will never be great defenders. However if GS can be a dynasty with Curry who does less things for his team than does Luka then we should be able to build a.championship team around Luka.
To start with we always need a mobile defensive center on the court. Capella? Who else fits that bill? I am still not sure why McGee didn’t work out. I am not looking for a franchise center or a center who can hit 3s. Give me a mobile defensive center to pair with Lively.
We need one more creator. I hear the arguments against Murray but if he is available you absolutely have to see what it would take to get him. The one deep run we made during Luka’s tenure came with a 3 creators rotation. Having 3 guys who can create, especially with all of them being legit good, poses a lot of issues for defenses
Give me those two fixes. When you address certain things and the rest of the crew move down in the pecking order the team will look much much better. Warts or not.
