2006/2011 Mavericks:Replace Dirk w/ Peak Barkley

Do you think Mavericks can win the title in either year if you replace Dirk with Peak Charles Barkley? I consider 1990 as Barkleys peak.

I dont see how they win in 2006 given Dirk ability to shoot the ball and strech the floor really helped the Mavs out against that Spurs defense while with Barkley they wouldnt be able to do that so for that reason I think the Spurs win that series in 06.

2006 they win for sure as Haslem isn't going to be able to guard Barkley like he guarded Dirk, also Barkley was more dominant.

They have a chance against Miami in 06 but the Heat stepped up so it's not easy to say. They definitely win in 2011 as Barkley has noone to defend him.
