A solid week break with some FA signings helped me find pockets where I could avoid the topic. Anywho, I'm more interested in finding some plays that can theoretically get both Kyrie and Luka a shot at the same time.
They say flattery is the highest form of respect, and honestly I think the Warriors have had some of the best offensive sets for years now.

One of the very first plays in the vid has a perfect slip screen. I think using Luka as Igoudala and have Kyrie come around that screen will be so hard for defenses to stop. Kyrie is a 45% 3pt shooter on wide open threes so defenses are going to be really keen on stopping that.
Honestly the more I watch the Warriors sets, the more I think how perfect Draymond Green would be on this team. He simultaneously fills the need for a low usage defensive 5, the ability to go small, AND fills a wing spot if needed.
Draymond is what someone should convince Ben Simmons to try and become. If only he had Draymond's mental side of the game, he could be a more athletic version of him.
I'm insane, but I'm still okay if the Mavs strike out on whatever hair brain plan they have that they bring Simmons in and tell him he's a 5 now. You should be able to squeeze assets out of BRK if you do that and have even an ounce of negotiating skills.
That's where they Mavs have driven me...to an offseason of re-signing Kyrie and trading for Ben Simmons. They have broken me.
