Include OMax in that rotation, and that's 3 athletic wings between 6'6" and 6'8" all 24 or younger. There would be no breaks for opposing offenses.
Issue is rebounding. Mavs would get absolutely demolished on the boards. PJ/GW/Luka are all great secondary rebounders, but out of those guys who is boxing out the Jokic/Bam/AD/etc. of the league?
Heck even a step below with Capela/Ayton/JV/Adams/Robinson.
I'd still get PJ, but he wouldn't be the 5. Sure he'd play spot minutes there, as well at some time at the 4, but my ideal lineup would be:
Luka
Kyrie
PJ
G-Will
Rebounding Center
Then when crunch time comes you have the small ball lineup if needed.
