Not everybody will just be open to slotting into a PJ Washington or a DJJ role for Luka. You have to find the right pieces and those pieces have to be willing to slot into that role. Sans the stat padding of Tatum earlier, it would look like KP was the main guy and Tatum was playing 2nd fiddle.
Overall, the Boston team is build differently with 4 stars + White. Holiday + Brown + Tatum + KP could all get plays called for them and have them do their own thing. Doncic's team is built around Doncic and Kyrie doing your turn my turn + 3 other guys trained to stand in the corner wait for a kick out pass or lob. Just different structures. We'll see what system works best
To be fair, KP didn't do anything offensively that he wasn't enabled to do with Luka when he was in DAL. He shot 3s and shot middies over smaller players. Same thing he would do here. The difference isn't about who he's playing with now, the difference is that he's matured. One could say that his time in WAS humbled him.
True. My point was his willingness to slot into that role was non existent. And to find those willing to slot into that role further streamlines the already small pool of players avaialble for that type of arrangement to improve the team. Its only a select few that are willing to slot into the 3&D role stand in the corner type. And they are paid handsomely to compensate for loss income. See Jaden Mcdaniels, Jarred Vanderbilt et al.
Now we need to hear just fat and lazy Luka slander and we're guaranteed to win.
