re: Build a team to beat the Warriors

LeBron $7
Russell Westbrook $5
Steven Adams $1
Devin Booker $1
Harrison Barnes $1

'92 Dream Team

Lebron
Westbrook
Adams
Tristian Thompson
Nic Batum

Russ Westbrook ($5)
Avery Bradley ($1)
Giannis ($3)
Anthony Davis ($5)
Tristan Thompson ($1)

You get really good defenders at the guard spots and small forward spot and you have to get guys in the front court to make the Warriors actually defend while also providing defense.

Anthony Davis ($5) and Steven Adams ($1) is a perfect front court and you have $9 to work on your guard and wings.

I really want Kawhi Leonard ($5) on any team I'm creating and I think I can find a good defensive point guard for $1, so I'm adding Kawhi.

$4 left. I want a guy like Mike Conley ($2) or Jrue Holiday ($1) as my point guard. I'll go with Mike Conley. I don't know who I'd put as the SG in the lineup though. Maybe Batum, maybe I go with Jrue there and go with a hyper defensive backcourt, maybe Parsons. I go with Batum for his defense and his solid 3 point shooting

PG - Mike Conley ($2)
SG - Nicolas Batum ($1)
SF - Kawhi Leonard ($5)
PF - Anthony Davis ($5)
C - Steven Adams ($1)


Option 2: The LeBron Option

You obviously want LeBron if you want to take down the Super Best Friends. If you go with LeBron, you only have $8 left. My plan would be to pair him with another star then a bunch of really undervalued $1 guys:

PG: Jrue Holiday ($1)
SG: Nicolas Batum ($1)
SF: LeBron James ($7)
PF: Anthony Davis ($5)
C: Steven Adams ($1)



Both of those teams are really, really good.

C - Rudy Gobert ($2)
PF - Serge Ibaka ($3)
SF - Paul George ($4)
SG - Avery Bradley ($1)
PG - Giannis Antetokounmpo ($3)

GS has already proven that Serge gives them fits
that above is the best defensive team money can buy. who the frick is going to guard the freak at point.
Rudy is the best Defensive center in the NBA (defensive not rebounding)


george would be the offensive key (can't believe he's a 4 dollar player)


damn thought i was smart putting avery bradley on the team i'm the 4th person to do so

actually this is what i'm going to do

replace Serge with Kristaps Porzingis

that puts me at $12 dollars

Replace Gobert with Cousins putting me at $15

so now i have a great perimeter defense and the best offensive center in basketball and they have scrubs in the paint

PG - Lebron ($7)
SG - Reddick ($1)
SF - Jae Crowder ($1)
PF - Kawhi Leonard ($5)
C - Stephen Adams ($1)

this is the best combination of shooting, length, defense and switching ability, lebron kawhi and crowder able to chase and switch any pick and roll especially a big thing when durant/green or a durant/curry pick and roll. Adams able to defend the rim and beat on draymond. this team out physicals the warriors. while reddick and leonard give them enough spacing with their 3s.

Davis $5
John wall $4
Antetokounmpo $3
Gordon Heyward $2
Ben Simmons $1

Westbrook
Ingram
Deng
Randle
Mosgov
