@"omahen" raises a good point.
For Luka's part, I don't get the sense that he'd mind giving away some of the limelight (could be dead wrong about that, it's just the sense I have, so far). But to decide to come here, Giannis would have to be ok being perceived as the 2nd best player for a franchise.
It's hard for us to understand, because anyone reading this would gladly take the veteran minimum to be the 15th man on a pro team, but I think it's harder for some of these guys to change the way they see themselves as basketball players than we realize.
If Giannis is smart enough, he'll see the benefits and not just the downside, but we just don't know what his priorities will be.
