Door is closed. Klay can't be on the floor with Luka because defense rips them bad enough singularly. So this is really about getting worse on defense when most teams in the West getting Jacked Up with rosters Dallas won't ever have.

That was seen in the finals against Boston where he struggled to score even when he was being guarded one on one. Throughout the history of the NBA small scoring guards tend to slow down considerably after age 30. With a few exceptions from time to time. Kyrie averaged 25 points a game. He is not in a free fall. But he is not quite as explosive a scorer as he used to be.
