KD/Booker better at 3pt + middy, but Luka/Kyrie better getting to the rim

And now let's look at the playmaking ability.

As for the question: I think Luka and Irving have more offensive tools to leverage, but I also think there are more synergy questions. I'm not sure Booker and KD really complement each other very well on their own, but there shouldn't be risk for diminishing returns either. A third player – like Chris Paul – may be able to maximize both Durant and Booker on offense. I'm not sure there is any third player, or simply the combination of both players, that truly maximizes both Luka and Irving at the same time.

If Kyrie can approximate his offensice impact he had beside Lebron from 15-17 in the PS next to his new running mate in Luka, then it is the Dallas duo in my opinion.

kyrie doesn't even seem to make teams better. Forget the fit bit, KD-Booker seems kind of clear to me. Even if Luka is the best here

I wonder if Luka and Kyrie will get on. Euro players seem to have infinitely less diva instincts. If Kyrie pulled his BS playing next to Ginobilli, Parker, Gobert etc I feel like they'd ask the FO to trade his ass.

Playmaking gap too big in favor of Luka/Kyrie.
