How about just make one thread for the stupid questions?

Dirk isn't just a better perimeter player than KG, he's a much better offensive player. Dirk is arguably the best the hardest matchup in the league right now. I don't really much if any advantage of KG in the post. Dirk has closed the gap in passing substantially. KG is better defensively, but that gap has closed a great deal as well. With KG we would be a better rebounding team and a better defensive team. However we'd be a much worse offensive team. We'd still be an elite team with KG, but nowhere near as strong a contender as we are with Dirk. Not only is Dirk the overall better player, but this team was built for Dirk, not for KG.
