I meant the plays he makes at 06:24 in below video.

Sabonis does this all the time, at an elite level. At the moment Luka can only throw it up for a dunk or back to 3pt. With Sabonis he has an elite player that can get the ball in mid range after pick and roll, drive and score. Sabonis, has PG skills, almost as Jokic. He drives to the basket exceptionally well. He finishes around the rim with elite touch light years ahead of any of our bigs. His positioning is what makes it happen. And Luka thrives when players know how and where to position.

Luka-Sabonis would be the best one two punch in the league IMO, they would flat out dominate. Other than Jokic, I cant think of another big that could fit better in playing style.

Not only that, but Sabonis has near PG passing skills as well. I can defintitely envision Sabonis setting the screen to Luka, receiving the pass in mid range as in the above example, drive, (and if not score) passing it out to Brunson that drives to the basket and either scores or passes further.

Sabonis is the link that would make it glue all togehter. It would make a much more flowing offense capable of easy baskets at the rim. And since Kidd is asking for this, this is definitely the player to go after. Not another KP.

The description of playing with your back to the basket does not always mean post ups. A lot of Sabonis game is starting in the midrange and finishing in the post area using his foot work and touch. He has a outside/in game but he can play and score over both shoulders consistently which is probably the better term. 

He is the perfect big for us. I wish we could go for both guys. 

Indiana is in a rebuild right now so they may not want a lot back. 

It would take KP and THJ off the rip
