As I said...it was an example of someone that isnt a $30M 2-way.
I dont think going all defense around Luka when teams tighten up in Playoffs is ideal. I think you need more well rounded bball players and I dont think they are as hard to find as you claim considering a lot of teams have such players. Im not talking about elite $30M 2 ways like Jru Holiday. Im talking about serviceable defenders that know how to dribble and do something more than "less than average" on offense like some of our heavy minute guys.
If Luka has to have elite defenders around him with a "shortage of two ways in the league" I think it will be hard to win a Ship. I suspect that the league will have some long agile defenders come into the league in next few years that can give Luka trouble one on one. Once that happens and teams dont need to double him or have help focused on him...its gonna be hard to win with only defenders around him.
