How do you know it won´t work? Like Markkanen/Allen/Mobley could not work?
If this does not work, it will not be because of their chosen set-up. Rather the fact that KAT is nowhere near as good and impactful as people think. If he was truly Dirk, as some of the press hyped him up to be, simply based on his similar regular season shooting percentages, they´d be the title favourites. The upcoming season will be HUGE for him personally after getting his nose bloodied in his first play-off appearances.
He´s 26 years old now. Lots of personal baggage through the COVID era. This season he´ll have to put it all behind him and ball in the play-offs. Ultimately I think it will be Edwards´ team, but for them to win KAT needs to prove he´s more Dirk than Porzingis.
Porzingis? That's a insult. KAT is light years better than KP right now. Does he need more maturity to keep from commiting stupid fouls that land him on the bench? Sure. Not to mention the personal tragedies he went through losing his Mother and Aunt to covid last year. But he doesn't have nearly the same weaknesses in his game that KP has.
