I'm out on the 2023-24 season ....

The players who have left Luka(KP, JB) have gone on to be some of the best players in the league. Why? 

I think the answer is pretty obvious in both cases. Both are playing a different role than they were playing in Dallas. Doesn't mean Luka was holding them back. 

Brunson went from secondary option to primary. He got more minutes, responsibility and shots and he kept the efficiency he had in Dallas. I wouldn't say he is any better player than he was with us. He got his team to run, lets see if he can make serious noise with it. 

KP went from primary option "wannabe" in Dallas to 3-5 option in Boston. Greatly optimizing his shot selection understandably making his numbers look better. He didn't want to accept a lesser role in Dallas, he said it himself in a very recent interview. Again, not much to do with Luka or his playstyle. KP could have floursihed as a PnR partner, but he wanted his post ups badly. He was also unavailable half of the time
