But wasn't part of the problem with the half court offense that the sixers had no one in the post, no one to draw a double team, no one to pass out of a double team
This team, as currently constructed, would waste a post presence. They need people to drain open shots after a post presence forces a double team. That's why Orlando surrounds dwight with Rashard and Hedo. Duncan with Ginobili, Barry, Horry, Bowen. Shaq was surrounded by Fisher and Horry, and even guys like Rick Fox, Devean George, Lindsay Hunter and Kobe (all of whom are sadly better than any 3 pt shooters we have). Get the drift? There's a reason for that. When a double team comes, it generally comes from the perimeter. By having nobody who can hit an open shot, the post thread is going to be doubled a lot more, become less effective, and not generate assists the way he could/should.
No, we're not expecting the 4 to be our answer as an outside shooter. But what we are saying is that if you acquire a post-oriented 4, and move Iguodala to the 2 and Thad to the 3, that you should come to the realization that an Andre Miller/Iguodala/Thad backcourt is going to make it hard for that post presence to operate, and limit the driving lanes available in the half court set.
