But are there any teams even remotely close to emulating such a model? Boston arguably had 5 all-star caliber players in their starting lineup. That's almost impossible to just create.

Right now looking out at the NBA landscape, there are a lot of teams with a lot of size. Mavs need to match that size. And they are one of the few teams uniquely made to dominate with size. 

I think only Houston, Spurs, and Denver can match their size right now.

The Thunder have a lot of size as well.  I guess Dort isn't exactly tall for his position, but he's a big dude.
