I would like to be a fly on the wall during these conversations. Rick appeared to think this was the best way to win. I thought it would change with Kidd, but it hasn't. Maybe it is too late as Luka is set in this style, but I hope it changes.
The only thing worse imo is getting another really good creator and doing your turn, my turn type of offense.
I think Rick was a combination of factors. Luka was just too good for some of Rick's mind games and Rick was the ultimate chicken shit into chicken salad guy so he allowed the Luka centric offense since it was the style that best fit the roster. Maybe I'm overly harsh on Kidd because he has those same roster challenges, but he seems to have no desire to coach an offense. Who knew the whole "give the ball to Luka" was 100% serious.
I really think Luka is coachable and can thrive anywhere, you just have to have a coach willing to challenge him on that end of the floor.
