They got their scoring from Dirk and Terry and everything else they needed from those other three.
There's literally no comparison at all. The collective basketball IQ and talent of the first group isn't close.

Kidd was a shell of his former self by then and Terry/Chandler combined for 1 all star appearance in their combined careers. Anyone that watched the NBA that year saw the Mavs were essentially a 1 man show same as what Luka does now.
