It's one of the main reasons a team like Memphis is building the way they are. They could've kept Gay, who gives them that dimension a bit, but instead opted to get even "slower" with Prince, emphasizing their strengths even more (yes I know there were money issues largely at the core of things, but I think there were basketball issues too, in terms of them hoping a downgrade would be a bit better for on-court chemistry). Why? Because the best chance a team will have to beat Miami (or OKC) will be to exploit their weaknesses, not out-do their strengths.
Even San Antonio, which emphasizes offense a lot more than they used to, still depends to a large degree on having an inside-out game initiated by Duncan and even a guy like Diaw.
