I don’t believe the issues are all that grave. This team has two studs. KP is the same guy who led the team last year in a stretch offensively and defensively where Luka was out. He has flaws like any other star. Luka does too.  Embiid  has flaws, Ben Simmons, Giannis.  We are not finding a guaranteed better stud if we get rid of KP


The biggest issue with RC over the last year has been the inability to find a way for his two stars to play off one another. Relegating Kp to a 7’3” outside shooter is not the answer. My feeling even last year has been that we need to run a lot of high post action through KP. Is his passing the best? No. Neither was Dirk’s but he improved as the team put him in that position and asked him to adapt. 

Luka will always get his. Use Luka as the Bulls used MJ or the Lakers use Bron. Some games they will be on a roll from the start but don’t force feed the offense through them from the start.  They are good enough to dominate even late in the game even without high usage prior. Players like KP OTOH need more structure and a defined plan from the coach.  Plus Luka not always focusing on scoring should make him a better player too.  However Luka needs to buy into this too and the coaching staff should actively work on getting the 2nd best player going every night.
