2729967, usually when you have *this* much talent on a team, they figure it out

Obviously there are a lot of questions they have to answer. Who's going to defend? (Though Jordan is a very effective defending big and KD has become a competent defender in his own right). Will they learn to move the ball more effectively? All three guys are among the most iso-ball dominant players in the league - so who's going to step up and be a distributor?

But do people really think they won't figure it out with *this* much talent? They very well could be the first team in NBA history to iso their way to a 'chip.

You would think it has to be Kyrie or Harden - but KD is really the one who has the experience of being a killer off the ball (from his GS days) and not needing to be so ball dominant to be effective. But Harden and Kyrie have more than enough ability to distribute - so one of them will have to assume that role.

But again - is it really more likely that they don't figure it out? Too much talent not to figure it out - and they likely won't even have to figure it out to a high degree in order to get to the Finals.
