Warriors - Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green, Zaza

Prices:




Who do you got for $15?

I have -
PG: Avery Bradley at $1
SG: Khris Middleton at $2
SF: Paul George at $4
PF: Lebron James at $7
C: Nerlens Noel at $1

I prioritized defensive versatility (specifically the ability to switch on screens), shooting, and the ability to be effective as a spot-up shooter/off-the-ball cutter offensively.

James is the de-facto point guard, and AB, Middleton, and George are all above average to elite shooters at their position. Noel is there as a cheap rim protector/elite rebounder who can guard out to the perimeter and switch defensively.



Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

PG- Avery Bradley - 1$
SG - Middleton - 2$
SF- Kawhi - 5$
PF- Giannis - 3$
C- KAT - 4$

TP potter, good list. I tried to change things up, but I really like that back court.

I prioritzed very similar things to you. I think Having Kawhi and Giannis gives you the length and defensive versatility to contend with Draymond and Durant (atleast slow them down a bit.) Bradley should be able to frustrate Curry if Kyrie can do it. Middleton v Klay isn't giving up too much ground. KAT is the stud that can put this team over the top.

As you can see this is more of a year or two away contention team, but the upside is there. Give them Brad stevens for a full year and they can take on the Warriors. Only downside would be the lack of ball handlers on the perimeter, but the addition of Giannis can make up for that. Kawhi is a good creator, and KAT is a great passing big man. Also everyone can shoot.

This lineup will not only be versatile on defense, but also on the offense. All can stretch the floor on O, and they are pretty mobile not to get killed on switches and PnRs

Yeah, once KAT and Giannis developed a bit more, that'd be a tough team. The only think I'd worry about is the lack of a true ball-handler. I got away with having James as my ball-handler, since he's essentially been a point forward his entire career. However, I'm not sure that Giannis is ready for that yet. It didn't work out too well for him at PG last year with Kidd.

I'm not sure about Porzingis guarding out on the perimeter, though you'd definitely have a post advantage between Davis and Porzingis.

Yea that was my worry. But I think between giannis and kawhi there is enough "handling" that given a space and pace system like stevens it could work.

Two-way players at every position. You have a lot more options if you pass on Bron, but we all know he's the only one who can beat the Warriors.

Horford was a homer pick, but Bradley is great on Curry and Jae was underpriced. I considered just using Bron at center, but Horford seemed like a good option.
