I asked this question last year and a bunch of posters told me to get with the times, and that 3 & D is the new blueprint of the modern game.
That's fine, but I don't want Luka and KP jacking up a bunch of 3 pt shots every game. Luka's strength is breaking down defenses and his ball handling. KP is 7'3". Sure you want to keep defenses honest and a long distance shot is necessary these days. However, that's different from making that the bread and butter of your offense. Every team is not GS. Why not play to our strengths?
Plus having the 2 cornerstones jack up a ton of long distance shots freezes all the other guys. Again, just because it works for GS or some other teams, why do this? I think the Mavs played a lazy and inefficient brand of offensive basketball last year, and hope it doesn't continue this year.
