Duncan and Oberto as the two bigs and Manu Ginobili at SG

Duncan and Dirk as the two bigs and a thoroughly average player at SG.

it kinda depends on who that so-called average 2 guard is. If you said Dahntay Jones then I'd say Dirk/Duncan. If you say Von Wafer then I'd say Duncan/Oberto/Manu.
Roger Mason is an average shooting guard, so I take the Tim/Dirk combo.
Right now or everybody at their primes?
Von Wafer isn't a starter. Let's go with the 15th best starting SG, whoever in your mind you think that would be.
Prime or Right Now.
2006-2008
parker
finley
bruce
dirk
duncan
Obviously the second team. Would there be a more deadly inside-out combo than Dirk/Duncan besides Kobe-Shaq?
This is prime time.
Can you honestly imagine a team of Tim and Dirk losing?
I cant say then. The reason I bring that up, is cause If you have D.jones and Bowen defending then the big men ( Dirk ) wouldnt have to help as much. If you have Roger Mason, who cant move his feet that well then you would have guys getting in the lane at will. Matt Bonner cant stop anybody from dunking as far as im concerned. But if you have 2 good perimeter Dfenders then that covers up the soft big man problem. Example would be the rockets. Yao is big but he doesnt really scare that many guards. However he didnt have guys challenging him all the time since he had Battier and Artest defending the smalls.
It's a no brainer. Dirk-Duncan
Manu's prime was from 2000/2001 'till 2005/2006. He's still a pretty good player but not the player that he used to be.
Prime: Tim and Manu.
Right now: Tim and Dirk.
Could you have imagined Tim/David losing. 2001 Lakers 4-0 ,2002 lakers 4-1.
Let's make this more tangible then. Would the Spurs be better or worse off if the following trade was cap legal and became a reality:
Dirk Nowitzki and Quentin Ross for Manu Ginobili and Matt Bonner. Mavs get an upgrade at SG and a replacement to play the 4. Spurs get an upgrade at PF and a replacement at the 2.
David was a dominant player, don't get me wrong. But Dirk brings a whole new skillset to the table. Both Tim and Robinson dominated the downlow, but giving the paint to Tim and the perimeter to Dirk would be incredible.
With the addition of Richard Jefferson yeah, but not by as much as you think. The Answer is still yes though.
The argument was started in another thread as to who would be better in their prime. In the other thread Manu was ahead so someone decided they did not like the results so they decided to create another poll. It makes about as much sense to argue Manu today with Dirk as it would today's Jabbar against Howard.
Thats messed up cause everybody laughed when I suggested getting Bargnani from the Raptors.
What about Defensively, The 2005 Suns were awesome but they got wooped. The 2004 Pistons Got 14-19ts from their top 4 Players and yet they won a ring and Dominated because of their defense.
Well that's because Bargnani plays horrible defense and loses to Dirk in every category except 3PT%.
