Which SG's Could win on the 1992 Bulls

Please Read Description!!!

Description: I'm starting a series with asking of you had to replace this Goat level player on a dominant team with someone at his position..which players would have a good chance to win said title.

Also I'm doing 5 of these; 1 every day for the next 5 days so please don't try to create a thread really similar to this.

First one is replace Michael Jordan with any shooting guard/s in NBA history ( select a specific year to represent the player ).

Which players would have a good chance at winning the title

Which players would have a good chance at winning the title

Questions/queries

1) Assume point guards is a typo, yes?

2) Good chance ... better than 50-50?

which brings me to

3) Chance when? At the start of the season. Not many teams are better than a 50-50 prospect at the start of the season? In the playoffs, with the same seed, same route, based on the assumption everyone else plays pretty much as they did (though this brings up how the superstar affected teammates)?

and

4) What if you don't think the player themself would typically typically win the title, wouldn't ordinarily meet the proability threshold (50% or whatever)?


Just some thoughts that occured that might help to clarify and focus the debate so everyone is answering the same question.

Peak Wade and maybe Peak Kobe

1. Yes point guards is a typo meant shooting guards

2, 3 and 4

What I'm trying to convey is the odds of a favorite to win the title, that is more fluid to the interpretation but In stating who could you replace Jordan with and the bulls would still be the favorites by a decent margin instead of outright favorites

Say if The Jordan's bulls chances of winning the title in 92 were 50 percent who would get them to 40 percent

I don't have any set numbers in mind but I'm wondering how many players could step up and replace Jordan with the odds title happening still being strong for the 92 bulls

I'd take prime Mamba, prime Wade, Westbrook (he's close enough to a SG).

Probably A.I. as well.

Westbrook hasn't done to be put in the same class as Kobe/Wade yet. He does remind of me prime Wade and there were a few games in last year's playoffs where he was as impressive as prime Wade but he still isn't there. IMO peak Kobe/Wade are the most reasonable replacements here.

True, but plugging in Westbrook's playing style into a team to replace Jordan would definitely be interesting.

I'd probably say that Westbrook could replace MJ if he bought into Phil's system. Take a look at what the Bulls did the year after that without MJ. They lost 3-4 against the Knicks and they probably would have beat them if it wasn't for that controversial call against Pippen. They also won 55 games that season. Add Westbrook to the 93-94 Bulls team and they are the favorites to win the championship.

Hmm.
Jordan was exceptional that year and the Knicks still took them to 7 games.
Cleveland & Portland gave Chicago trouble also.

Surprised some people think W-Brook could replace Jordan and still win.
I'd give Peak Wade & Kobe a chance but I certainly wouldn't consider it a sure thing considering how well Jordan played and how close most of the series were.

[CaliBullsFan]

The real question here is who could you replace MJ with and still beat the Knicks.

Kobe obviously
I think Wade, T-Mac and Gervin are too soft
I'll go with a sleeper, Reggie Miller.

06-08 Kobe
maybe 09 Wade

[Vinsanity_GOAT]

Assuming they get the same treatment as jordan (being completely untouchable). Kobe, vince, tmac and wade.

Jordan was obviously a great player, but his success during the 90's was largely orchestrated marketing by the nba's head honchos. From what i've seen it was basically 2006 wade for 7-8 years. Granted i've only watched about 30 or so (mostly playoffs) 90's jordan games, so it's a small sample size, but every one of those games was the same. Nobody was allowed to touch jordan while he was hacking players unpunished on the other end.

[Exodus]

Kobe and Jerry West

[KD35Brah]

06 Wade and 09 Wade.

[Ballerhogger]

Kobe

[cyclix]

06 Wade and 09 Wade.

10 Wade and 11 Wade are also pretty good bets to win with the 92 team.

[Massamba]

Peak Iverson Kobe Wade Carter Tmac Allen.

[Quotatious]

Peak Kobe, Wade and maybe T-Mac (he was roughly on the same level as Bryant and Wade, talent-wise, but I'm not so sure about his leadership). That's probably it. MAYBE Drexler, but I doubt it.
