I disagre on it needing to be a guard. TD, KG, and Shaq are inside players. Dirk isn't. Heck, I can get Dan Dickau, Darrell Armstrong, or Derek Fischer to get him the ball

It's not about "getting him the ball" per se. It's about the guard putting pressure on the defense too. Kobe (or another good guard) has the ability to get in the lane and finish too. The guard has the ability to get to the line. The guard has the ability to put daggers in the team's heart when they decide to double Dirk.
Ginobili is a perfect compliment to Duncan. Ginobili can run the pick and roll with Duncan. He can go one on one with any player. He finishes at the line. He can nail the 3. He can pass. He can defend the perimeter.
Ginobili/Duncan is a much better combo than Duncan/Shaq because even though Shaq is a better player than Manu... Manu takes pressure off of Duncan in areas of the floor that the defense can't "react" to.....
That is why Dirk needs a guard to be paired with.....
