He stated the offense is so tailored to Luka that a lot of the motion sets the mavs have installed don't get called or utilized because it would require Luka to play off ball a bit more.

So it will be interesting to see if they use the offseason to finally tailor some of it to involve Luka more off ball.

I think we can all agree at times when Luka missed games plenty of games mainly Green and Hardy were playing off ball next to Kyrie and did some great things because the offseason was spread out and they were also able to get out and run more in transition

We can all agree that Luka can mature more with playmaking and such.

But objectively speaking, Kidd was awful last season regardless of what Luka was doing.

I mean, Luka was surrounded by Bullock and DFS who were clanking threes left and right while not actually doing what they are supposed to be doing which is defending.

It's easy to forget that Luka was having a Michael Jordan first half of the season until he was inevitably run down because of how bad everyone else was.

No amount of playing off the ball was going to fix that. Mostly because we didn't have any other ball handlers other than Spencer until the Irving trade.
