It's like saying that Kobe Bryant or Dirk Nowtizki wouldn't significantly help the Nuggets of last year just because there weren't any other great scorers around them. I'm sorry, but you add a guy that's capable of scoring 30 points a game, it'll definitely help your offense.

the reverse is true for Wallace.
Big difference Murphy. Only one guy can shoot the ball at one time. So it's easier for a single player to make an impact on offense than on defense where one player can shut down his man but can't guard all 5 players at the same time. All it takes is for one man to be open. One great player on defense will make a difference, but not near as much as 1 great player on offense.

So you analogy is apples and oranges IMO.
