Really? Do you think that if you swapped out Dame for Walton, Clyde, or Sheed in that “fluke” WCF series against the Warriors in Dame’s era, the results would have been any different?
What the fuck kind of hypothetical is this?
If we “swapped” them out, the team would be built completely differently.
If you did a straight swap of Dame for Walton for instance, what happens with Nurk? Who is our PG? Would the roster construction still be the same? I mean it just makes no sense as a hypothetical.
So many unknowns which makes this a horseshit question.
And cherry-picking a single playoffs is disingenuous at best. Look at a 5 year window.
And I’d argue it would certainly be easier to build around Drexler or Walton given their height and they aren’t complete traffic cones on defense — which my opinion on height is well documented, supported by Kobe and Jordan both admitting that height is a key part of greatness.
