It will be especially missed big time in the regular season every time Luka or Kyrie will not be playing. It will cost us games, imho. None of THJ/Hardy/Curry can replicate what SD was contributing in that run, imho. Based on the history, we can count that Luka will miss some 15 games and Kyrie some 30 games. That could be more than half of games where one of them will not be available.
This is a fair point, for sure.
Are any of Exum, Hardy or Curry up to this? Better yet, will Kidd identify which of them he needs to try to train to be up for it in time for them to succeed?
That's a huge "what if," I agree.
