While I will never be a fan of the heavy isolation offense with limited movement, it is quite apparent that Dinwiddie is not being used great when paired with Luka. Maybe their defensive limitations will be too big to overcome, but he should have the ball more when he is on the court with Luka. There needs to be a balance there. When Luka has the ball he is going to cause all sorts of problems and get great looks. I know it is hard to look for balance with how great he is. But I think balance is going to be important if we want to become a serious contender moving forward.
I wonder if an Ayton for OG trade with other stuff could be a sneaky deadline trade? Or Siakem for Ayton?
That's funny because that was what Chuck and the TNT crew said last night. Luka needs to learn how to play more off the ball, so he wouldn't get blitzed so much. But I don't think Kidd will be creative enough to make it happen. Another thing that should be of concern is Luka logging these heavy minutes will cause more injuries. You can tell by his gait sometimes up the court. He's constantly playing with these nagging injuries which is a sign that his body needs some rest. Hope that ankle won't keep him out long, they gutted out a win without him, that won't always be the case moving forward.
