But you need to assess what it is and act accordingly. If Luka is not ready to be a leader, you have to help him, not throwing him under the bus forcing him to become something he is not ready to be. If this is how we are, so why don't we expect Dorian/Maxi/Bullock to become good creators, KP to be great post up player and so on? We don't. We accept them for who they are and utilize their strengths. At least I do.
Look what Phoenix did when they gave their team and their star player a leader.
They already had a great leader in Ricky Rubio. What they got their star player is an even better player than Ricky Rubio in CP3. Maybe Trey Burke is a great leader. Maybe Powell, WCS and Boban are great leaders. Totally possible. They are also not very good at basketball and combined get paid as much as Sabonis, Turner, Markkanen or Allen. All we had to do this summer was let THJ walk, dump Kleber and we could have offered John Collins a max contract. If that had failed, we could have picked up Markkanen later, because the Bulls would not have matched any reasonable offer sheet.
We always have these opportunities to add talent, but we waste them.
Bagley, Bamba and Reddish are probably next in line, cause people are convinced Kleber, Powell and Bullock are just as good, and more winning basketball players.
