PG - Kyrie ($4)
SG - Danny Green ($1)
SF - Crowder ($1)
PF - Lebron ($7)
C - Pau Gasol ($2)

Basically a better constructed Cavs team in my eyes
2020 CelticsStrong All-2000s Draft -- Utah Jazz
 
Finals Starters:  Jason Kidd - Reggie Miller - PJ Tucker - Al Horford - Shaq
Bench:  Rajon Rondo - Trae Young - Marcus Smart - Jaylen Brown -  Peja Stojakovic - Jamal Mashburn - Carlos Boozer - Tristan Thompson - Mehmet Okur

With James:

1: Avery Bradley @ $1
2: Tony Allen @ $1
3: LeBron James @ $7
4: Anthony Davis @ $5
5: Nikola Jokic @ $1

Obviously James would be the Point Forward on offense. Bradley and Allen would focus their energies on defending Curry and Thompson. James would run the offense and neutralize Durant as he always does. Davis and Jokic would be my big bullies.

Without James:

1: Avery Bradley @ $1
2: Tony Allen @ $1
3: Kawhi Leonard @ $5
4: Anthony Davis @ $5
5: Dwight Howard @ $3

Would crush them with a Twin Tower offense with Leonard as the Point Forward.

PG: Bradley $1
SG: Shumpert $1
SF: Leonard $5
PF: Lebron $7
C: Noel $1

All out D with the ability to space the floor and Lebron

I saw a very similar one replacing Shump with Barnes and Noel with WCS.

I'm starting to think that Crowder should maybe replace Shump (I don't know how he would deal with switches onto Curry, but the shooting's a big improvement).  I'm not big on having Noel as the C, but I think he's better than WCS (for now), and I can't think of any other Cs with good enough athleticism and shot blocking

Edit:  Maybe Steven Adams, or Gobert?  I don't like Gobert on switches, though

Gotta start with James and Davis

$7 - Lebron James - PF
$5 - Anthony Davis - C
$1 - Avery Bradley - PG
$1 - Harrison Barnes - SF
$1 - JJ Redick - SG

This team would trash the new look GSW. OK there is the weak link on defence of JJ Redick but his running off of screens on the offensive end makes up for that. It's 4 guys who can stretch the floor around Lebron, a PnR combo of Lebron and Davis, a Curry stopper in Bradley and incredible defensive versatility. These guys should be able to switch everything. Can't believe Barnes only costs $1...

PF- Davis
SF- D. Green
C- Towns
PG- Lillard
SG- Bradley


Davis and Towns size will be devastating. Both can also defend on the perimeter as well protect the rim. Green and Bradley are your classic 3 and D guys. Lillard has always given the Warriors problems and his shooting will create even more spacing for the 2 bigs to work inside.

Sweep...  Honestly not sure Curry would survive the series.

Somebody lend me $1 for Tony Allen off the bench.

This is a really fun idea. I had replied to the tweet with:

Kemba Walker ($2)
Avery Bradley ($1)
Paul George ($4)
Lebron James ($7)
Steven Adams ($1)

Fun game. Based on performance last season:

G: Danny Green $1
F: Crowder $1
F: Leonard $5
F: James $7
C: Adams $1

For next year, when everyone is a year older:

G: Lowry $3
G: Smart $1
F: Leonard $5
F: Davis $5
C: Jokic $1

I think you just absolutely need Leonard on this team. He's the one guy that can guard both Steph and KD, and he's a perfect complement to whatever other superstar you choose. There's a number of bargain $1 options, especially at center (Jokic, Adams, Gobert, Noel...)

Mike Conley 2
Khris Middleton 2
Paul George 4
Anthony Davis 5
Rudy Gobert 2

I saw one pretty similar but I like this version. It's got the length and size to bother the Warriors defensively and this team would murder them on the boards. On offense, the floor should be spaced pretty well now that Davis has a reliable 18-footer.
