We need to differentiate here: Carlisle played KP and DP together a ton. And it didn´t totally mess up our offense. As I said earlier the main issue is KP not wanting to be used as a floor spacer. The famous Carlisle quote, where he dismissed KP post ups is the key here. If KP is spacing out and DP is rolling, Luka is fine.
If you want Luka to be super efficient, you need to put him on isolation island with four guys spacing around. I don´t think that´s something that should be done over extended periods of time though, as it wears Luka down immensely (we know that story)
You cannot have KP posting up/flashing from low to high post etc. AND maximize Luka´s strengths. It´s just not working that way. If KP wants to be the man posting up being the focal point of the offense, that´s fine. But he should be at least efficient enough to carry the offense for stretches, which BY A LANDSLIDE he is not!
So where do we go? I´d trade KP as soon as possible, before he gets injured again. But that´s just me
