You need defensive players to hide a weak defensive player. But if you want to trade 4 players and Taj and/or Jimmy are included..
Yes, I agree with this but only to a certain extent. I think you're over emphasizing individual defense over team defense.
Thibs did wonders for Pierce and Ray Allen when Boston won theirs didn't he?. Thibs is more than capable of concocting a scheme to compensate for the hypothetical losses of Taj and Jimmy.
Dallas won with a defensive turnstile in Dirk and having Chandler as their only elite defender. Marion may be considered one too, but in the absence of multiple great individual defenders they executed a great defensive gameplan to beat Miami. You're not confident Thibs can do the same?
