If we're going to go all in on the Luka boat with a bunch of 3rd/4th options. Then you sort of need to wrap your main guy in cotton wool for the regular season, if he is out because he was going for MVP and got injured, you're in the playin or bounced in the first round.
Or, you build a properly balanced roster so you don’t feel the need to run your two best players into the ground by the time the playoffs start.
