if he had been taken out completely by Muzone in Season 2 (which Bell prevented) Joe's organization could have been up for grabs.

what?

he had already started supplying everyone with cheap heroin. if joe goes down, they all lose. at worst, the others would have helped him

barksdale would then have (1) no way of generating revenue and (2) everybody else setting their sights on them

prop joe saved the barksdale organization in season 2
