I think they needed a Chris Mullin the issue they had was the lack of shooters.

^^^ that's true, as Pippen explains to Rachel Nichols:



"My situation in Houston was similar to Westbrook's where I couldn't provide the shooting needed to fit into a big-man offense (most 90's offenses)"

So Mullin's shooting in place of Pippen and then Malone isn't needed to replace Barkley.. Or if we must put Malone in place of Barkley, then we still need Mullin or Elliot or Schrempf or Ellis or Majerle to replace Pippen
