Add 2023 Jokic to these teams - do they win the championship?

A Jokic/ Ben Wallace series would be interesting. I think Jokic would manhandle him

[SouBeachTalents]

Yes, that would make them clear favorites.

This. Even if you're underrating Jokic, you're upgrading from Jason Collins, 2000 year old Mutombo and Olowokandi.

Ok, how about some tougher ones?

2001 Timberwolves
2002 Timberwolves
2007 Pistons
2008 Pistons

2001 Timberwolves- probably not getting through the Lakers

2002 Timberwolves- Wally and Billups are better this year. If KG and Jokic and match Shaq and Kobe to somewhat of a draw, Wolves might have a better squad from #3 on.

2007 Pistons- demolishes baby Lebron and bests the Spurs. 07 Spurs weren't that special as far as championship squads go. Maybe refs take them out of it, because that was the year of the big Donoghy scandal.

2008 Pistons- Pistons were 2-2 with the Celtics until McDyess's legs basically gave out in games 5 and 6. I can definitely see the Pistons taking it if you upgrade Dice to Jokic.

Jokic and KG would be such a nasty duo in that era.

Like a supercharged, superstar version of Vlade and C-Webb - with more defense, shooting, and touch. I can see them passing from the elbows like crazy.

It would also allow KG to focus less on having to be a paint presence on offense. Play more of a Scottie Pippen role focusing on defense, playmaking, and shooting.
