The question is can and will Luka change his game? It is a tough ask because he has been one of the top 3 players in the league for the past several seasons and have led one of the best offenses in the league. But Dallas has been pretty apparent they wanted a second star in the past. They have one now. How do you balance the brilliance of Luka while allowing others freedom to create? Looking back it is quite apparent now Jalen should have been given more responsibility. This may be not popular and maybe turn out wrong, but looking at KP this year there is a strong case he should have been given a bigger role here too.
I feel pretty confident Kyrie will not be happy in the Jalen/Dinwiddie role. But hopefully it is not your turn, my turn type of offense. Hopefully in time we can have the ball movement and fast pace offense we saw against the Clippers and first Kings games mixed with the dominance of Luka. It will take time and sacrifice, but long term it is the best direction imo.
I don't want to put Hardy into this grouping yet, because he has a long way to go and may not get there. But he will also be a guy who is going to need the ball. You won't get the most out of him if you ask him to play the Bullock role on offense.
