The issue is not Luka-JB vs Luka-SD. If you think it is, that's why you (and others) don't get it. It's about missing a realistic backup for TWO positions.
When the season began a year ago,
PG Luka, JB, Burke, Franky
When last season ended, it was
PG1 - Luka, SD, Burke/Green/Franky
PG2 - JB, SD, Burke/Green/Franky
When this season begins, it will be
PG1 - Luka, ?, ?
PG2 - SD, ?, ?
SD will be replacing JB, obviously. But who will fill the minutes that SD filled last year, backing up BOTH PG1 and PG2? It's a big need, and they don't seem to have a plan to fill it. That should be alarming, because it isn't workable to go through a season without such a key backup.
