I think sometimes we act like we need multiple offensive initiators when in reality we just need folks who can both shoot but aren't afraid to floor the ball and break the defense down (this is my biggest gripe with Hardaway in his current role right now). Right now we're starting a lineup that has less offensive talent then what I just proposed (obviously in my opinion) but curious as to why you think otherwise.
It's still the same concept at the end of the day, Luka/Wood stack action, pick and roll surrounded by shooters, just with players who are little more dynamic or are at least developing into players that are more dynamic than what we currently have.
Well, you might could convince me it would be an improvement in some ways on offense, or at least stay the same (but with added athletic ability and defense), so I get the temptation.
BUT, OG will be an "all-in" move. So, where do you go from there? I do NOT believe that will be ENOUGH offense to be a contender. I just don't. I would absolutely do a move like that for Siakim, who would singlehandedly change the shape of this team, offensively. For my money, the offense is what you have to fix first.
