That is one of the reasons I am so excited by this run:
1) Kidd is really reaching the full depths of this roster with "buy-in" and this team is NOT being kept alive by superstar play. They are winning as a TEAM.
2) If Luka and KP can buy in to what all the other players have bought into then I think this team can be a (low-level) contender as soon as this year (assuming Luka comes back to being close to what he can be).
Luka has been almost a shell of himself with his availability and his play (shooting, first step, shot selection, etc) and this team is being incredibly competitive despite that.
