ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

Your offense is only as good as your weakest link. Any great playoff defense will make Dorian the space and let him beat them. We need more offensive players that can do so much with that space Luka leaves. The road to the title is through elimination of the double teams on Luka, and the way to go is bringing in multidimensional offensive players.

I think that applies more to defense when teams isolate a bad defender.  Dorian generally hits corner 3s at well over 40%.  That provides plenty of space for the other guys to do their thing and an outlet when necessary.  I have pointed this out before, but look at Luka's net rating in the playoffs.  It gets better the more 3&D guys (Dorian, Bullock, Maxi) are on the court with him.  That is because they provide the space he needs to operate and the defense is crucial in a playoff situation.  I'm not saying we don't need offensive alternatives when Luka gets doubled, but it does not need to be the entire lineup.  Hell, a Luka/Wood combination surrounded by quality 3&D could go a long way.
