True, maybe.
I'd love to find out if they switch on Powell/Luka screens as much as on KP/Luka screens. I don't have a strong feeling for that, but I would point out that we haven't really gotten to see the Powell/Luka action in the playoffs much at all. It's possible that the Clippers WOULD have made taking that away a priority, and then maybe thing WOULD still have devolved into Luka going 1-on-1 after every screen. I don't KNOW that, just playing devil's advocate.
I'm 100% on board with your assertion that for MAX money, Luka/KP two-man game needs to be a focal point. It's great that he can also be a spacer, but max money is too much to spend for that.
AND, BECAUSE DEFENSE!
