I think you underestimate the minutes to be played by Luka-SD. They played a combined 64 last season (35 1/2, 28 1/2), and I would look for about the same this time. Perhaps even a tick higher, with Brunson no longer here needing minutes.
So that would make 16-18 minutes of overlap inevitable, which in a simple iteration would have them playing together the first 4-5 minutes and the last 4-5 minutes of each half. Obviously there are many other ways to script that, but that keeps one of them on the floor at all times, and still offers about 1/3 of the game with 2 of them.
