The Takeover
Timmy had already swept Shaq/Kobe the year before with an old David Robinson and old role playersthey would have probably ruled the east, but saying they would have "easily" 2-3 titles is underrating how good Kobe and Shaq were together. thats who they would have had to face in the finals 3-5 times str8.

His starting backcourt was Avery Johnson and Mario Elie

Give him McGrady and possibly Grant, its a wrap out there. TD had no perimeter help in the early 2000's, that's why LA was able to beat the Spurs during their 3peat
Tim was going head up with Shaq/Kobe regardless year in and year out in the same conference with a lesser talented squad and still wound up with 2 rings back then
