Or else we're back in the same Loop of Puzzlement over why they talked Dragic out of taking their 15th slot (at minimum salary), and what alternative they have in mind for 3rd Creator. If any. Which, if they don't, seems like a recipe for inevitable disaster.
Oh, I fully expect an emergency PG to be added before the season starts. I just think it will literally be a Burke-level guy, and not someone who makes us feel like their top end rotation can include two creators on the floor at all times.
I do think signs point to Luka/Dinwiddie/Hardaway being rotated at guard. I just don't think they'll try to make Hardaway an offensive initiator, that's all. This means that either Powell or Green is in the rotation. Maybe both, some nights.
