he's also a great defender and would cover Jordan. And no one on the Bulls could stop Durant, a 6' 11" shooter with long arms with a release point on his jumper of that of a legitimate seven-footer that no one can block even now.

Iguodala, a lock-down defender would neutralize Pippen, and Curry with his handle, efficient finishing on drives and long range shooting would be something Harper couldn't contend with.

I say Green and Rodman would be a wash.

And the constant movement and deadly accuracy of the Dubs three three-point shooters that the Warriors have would be too much for the two-man, isolation schemes the Bulls used.
