I don't know where else to pose this question, so I'll drop it here.
Filled with good vibes from the SL performance of our rookies, SnT for Williams, draft day trade for Holmes, and ongoing speculation that DAL can get in on a deal for either Towns or Capella, I took a sip of Koolaid and put on my rosiest of glasses and started looking into the future.
I'm thinking about how this summer has been about surrounding Luka (I still consider it HIS team) with decent defenders, more size, a bigger frontline, 40%-ish 3pt shooters, and bigs that appear to have some handling skills (e.gl, OMax) and more depth of PG-type ball handlers.
So my question is, If the supporting cast improves as much as we hope it will, does Kyrie become superfluous?
The reason I'm asking is I'm not sure there's enough balls in play with both Luka and Kyrie and 8 other guys wanting to get their shots as well. Individually, both are phenomenal talents. But I'm not sure they are complementary, longer term. I'm interested to see what gets worked out in training camp, but, IMO, we have two alpha dogs but only room for one. If it leans too much Luka's way, does Kyrie get triggered into being a problem?
