I think so. And I think both players have now had the experience of adjusting to playing with co-stars, with LeBron obviously going back to the Heatles, with Wade and Bosh in Cleveland, with Kyrie and Kevin Love, and then now in LA with AD. And then
uh luca with kairi uh the one interesting part to me is that like they both have always been the batman in that situation it's always been more so the other stars adjusting more to them rather than them adjusting to them because they've clearly been the best player in those situations this is kind of the first situation where they could look at each other and say like

They can make the case for why they're the better player or the better fit, whatever. And then they could also make the case for the other player to kind of take more control. So I do expect like Luka is 25. He's not even yet in his prime. I think he's obviously the better player between the two right now. So I think Luka should be the primary ball handler and point guard.

And you'll see a lot of Luka LeBron two-man game. And we saw it with Team USA. when he played a bit more off the ball. It basically was like in the Draymond role with Steph. And Luka and Steph aren't the same type of player, but you can imagine LeBron screening for Luka and hitting him in the short roll. And then now you have LeBron with a four-on-three advantage.

He can either get downhill, get to the rim and finish, or he can drive and kick to shooters in the corner, cutters, whatever. So I think... There will naturally be a learning curve here and an adjustment period for both guys in terms of learning to play with each other. They are both supercomputers. So there's going to be a bit of some growth and learning there.

But I think ultimately, these are two of the smartest players in the league, two of the best passers in the league. There's a lot of similarities between them from a skill and playing style perspective. So I don't want to overcomplicate it. I think these two guys will figure it out, but you can go... 1-4 pick and roll, 4-1 pick and roll.

You could have Luka screening for LeBron and popping or also getting hit in the short roll and then making decisions. So I think those two are going to have a great chemistry. Again, I think it's going to take some time, but I think offensively, this team has a high ceiling. It's, as you've alluded to, the defensive side and having Jackson Hayes as your starting center.
