Based on overall performance, the ones who look like they could easily be replaced with Prime early-90s Timberwolves' era Tyrone Corbin are Joe Johnson (Boston), Kendall Gill (Miami), Keith Van Horn (New Jersey), Ira Newble (Atlanta), DerMarr Johnson (Atlanta), Lee Nailon (Charlotte), Ron Mercer (Chicago), Trenton Hassell (Chicago), Michael Curry (Detroit), Adrian Griffin (Dallas), Calbert Cheaney (Denver), Walt Williams (Houston), Grant Long (Memphis), Joe Smith (Minnesota), Steve Smith (San Antonio), Eric Piatkowski (L.A. Clippers), Penny Hardaway (Phoenix) or Scottie Pippen (Portland).
Which one of those most replaceable starting SG/SF would you bench in favor of an upgrade in the form of Prime early-90s Timberwolves’ era Tyrone Corbin?
And which starting core would Prime early-90s Timberwolves’ era Reggie Lewis fit better with? Assuming you put him on either the Celtics, Heat, Nets, Hawks, Hornets, Bulls, Pistons, Mavericks, Nuggets, Rockets, Grizzlies, Timberwolves, Spurs, Clippers. Suns or Trail Blazers.

It has to be the kings. He would have been there to bother Horry for that last sec three pointer. He would have given his unmatched moxie to the kings. They would be champs… yeah someone else would have gotten some finals MVP, but we all know who would have really deserved it.
